The manual says that nnn being the same number for both settings means "fixed" blocksize. As I understand it, your solutions should be to just set the "Minimum Block Size" so you get a good perfromance. Minimum Block Size = 1048576 won't this "fix" your performance? -Marc -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | --> http://www.links2linux.de <-- | | | +---Registered-Linux-User-#136487------------http://counter.li.org + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
