I personally have the feeling that 2.2.x performed better than 2.4.x does, but I cannot go figure because I'm using ReiserFS 3.6 file systems. I'd also really like to give Linux 2.5.39 or whatever is current a whirl, but I'm currently using LVM and I'd need anything to read that. Which one (EVMS or LVM2) is an ignorant-proof install and reliable enough to read old LVM1 partitions and volumes? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
