I believe that the parameters mke2fs uses when you say 'mke2fs -T news' are at least in the right direction, if not the best. Lots of small files is almost the definition of news. Note, though, that ext2fs' linear directory searching makes it a poor choice for anything involving large numbers of entries in a single directory. If that's necessary, I understand ext3fs and/or reiserfs are better at this. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
