Journalled filesytems have a runtime cost, and you're paying that all the time. If you're going 200 days between crashes on a disk-intensive box then using a journalling fs to save 30 minutes at reboot time just doesn't stack up: you've lost much, much more time than that across the 200 days. It all depends on what the machine is doing and what your max downtime requirements are. - 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/ | ||||||||||
