Hi all. I just took the time to mount /tmp as an mfs file system, and have
made some interesting measurements. It seems that on my machine (a 486DX4/100)
writes to a mfs file system are slower than writes to a real file system. I
made the changes to my file system after hearing that access to the mfs files
should be faster. A 26 meg file took 23 seconds to write to /, and over a
minute
to write to the mfs partition. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!
