Hmm... strange actually. I recall there was a kernel patch for ext2 file system to speed up listing. I am not sure that it went into the official kernel tree, but you can look for it somewhere here: http://people.nl.linux.org/~phillips/htree/ Maybe it will solve your problem. -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov, RHCE System Administrator Francoudi & Stephanou Ltd. _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
