Re: Linux 2.2.18pre22

Compile failed:

megaraid.c: In function `mega_findCard':
megaraid.c:1906: warning: implicit declaration of function
`pci_resource_start'

drivers/scsi/scsi.a(megaraid.o): In function `mega_findCard':
megaraid.o(.text+0x19a7): undefined reference to `pci_resource_start'

Seems a #include  is missing here.

Re: e2fs performance as function of block size

If the files get somewhat bigger (eg. > 1G) having a bigger block
size also greatly reduces the ext2 overhead. Especially fsync() 
used to be really bad on big file but choosing a bigger block
size changed a lot.

If the database used by the original poster is based on 
something like c-isam then (AFAIR) it is in fact using
1k blocks which may explain the better results of 1k block
size. With a 100 MB file size fs management overhead should
not be that visible.
