Hello, On an asynchronously mounted filesystem, and on MFS, I created 1000 files as a test for measuring the speed. I was surprised to see that it makes absolutely no difference. Aparently asynchronously mounting means also that 100% stays in buffer and does not go to disk. (I thought that some metadata might go to disk still synchronously, thus MFS being faster in such cases). So is there any advantage in using MFS compared to an asynchronously mounted regular filesystem?
