The ability to be resized while mounted is good as well; tho I don't use it much. There may be a performance improvement over ext3; tho it's very hard to say. (Backuppc is a fairly unusual load situation; and hard to benchmark well). I've not noticed a performance problem from it. I used to use reiserfs on backuppc installations; but after a couple of years, some corruption bugs turned up which made me abandon it. I didn't want to go back to the inode limitations of ext3 tho; so I went with XFS. > Usually people tend to say processor is not important while backing up but Backuppc will use all the processor, ram, and disk speed you give it. I've not had a box where they weren't all pegged. I tend to limit concurrent backups to 2; maybe 3 or 4 on a really high-end box (multiple processors and a proven fast disk array); to control disk-head thrashing. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
