Incidently, I found that using a frag to block ration != 8 was a certain killer for a news filesystem. ie: 8k/1k worked beautifully, and so did 4k/ 0.5k. If I did 4k/1k or 8k/2k, the system would badly trash the file system by corrupting the block allocation bitmaps within 2 or 3 days of running at full load. I was never able to track this down though as it was only occurring on a live system that I wasn't allowed to go back to 4k:1k for debugging once it was working. The 4:1 ratio of 16k/4k rings alarm bells to me.. Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the messagehelp
