Strange.
Using a ram disk as journal device is totally and utterly pointless. You might as well disable journalling completely then. The whole idea of keeping a journal is to have a log of metadata changes in case of a crash. If this log is kept in ram, it will be gone, making it completely useless I can't say why it should be slower, but since it shouldn't be used at all, it doesn't seem to matter much --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
