Speaking about measuring things, is there perhaps a document which discusses reiserfs performance, and how to look for things to tune etc... I'm currently running a very default reiserfs on top of 3 x 40GB IDE disks, and am wondering how hard it is working, and whether I could tune it to be better... I'm using 2.4.17pre8, ReiserFS 3.6.25 /proc/fs/reiserfs/device/super says: mount options: BORDER TAILS LOG on-disk-super says magic: ReIsEr2Fs (is this the 2.5 or 2.6?) Thanks, Adam
