It's not that simple. You need to weigh your need for uncorrupted data and speedy boot against your tolerance for runtime overhead. I really suggest that you do some googling to learn about linux-supported file systems, ext2, ext3, and other journalling filesystems. You'll be able to ask much more sensible questions. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
