As long as nobody gets the idea to import VxFS... It's dog slow compared to UFS+softupdates. :-) Dog slow even compared to Solaris 8 UFS+logging. Of course, i know it has other advantages, but the journalling feature doesn't seem to be the best. Even my notebook with its slooow (low-power) IDE drive is faster than Solaris 8 fibre-channel disks running with VxFS. ;-) ("faster" means in terms of filesystem metadata operation, like file creations and deletions, since that's the area you normally want to employ journalling or softupdates for.) -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
