A while ago I configured a few squid boxes which ran off of a read-only system. Mke2fs is actually unacceptably slow on large file systems, faster then fsck, but still time consuming. I found that zeroing out the disk, then formating it and saving the non-zero blocks, replaying them on reboot to be an acceptable solution. - 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/
