I was curious how fast is it. I mount my ZIP disk (a SCSI one) first with vmount as a VFAT filesystem then with FreeBSD as a DOS filesystem. At both times I copied a 8.2M MP3 file to /dev/null. For vmount it took 15 secs, for FreeBSD it took 1minute and 33secs! It means that vmount(/Linux) was SIX times faster than the native FreeBSD! How could it happen?! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebestyen Zoltan It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up. szoli@caesar.elte.hu But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
