My current production LMS box has the media files on the same model disk, ext4 with journal and no special tweaking of parameters. With this new box, I thought I'd mess with inodes, journal & such to try to squeeze a little more disk space and performance from the drive and reduce system overhead. I'll populate the drive over the next day or two, simulate a crash and precipitate a boot time fsck on it and report back the results. If, as you suspect, it takes many hours, I'll likely blow away the partition and start over, keeping the journal.
Mounting RO would be a little cumbersome for my setup, given how frequently I push new music and videos up to the system. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93717 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
