I realy want a quiet PC in my bedroom. My experience is that journaling file systems generate mor disc activity than ext2 for example.
I run ext2 and noflushd and it works rather OK. Logfiles spin it up say once every hour. I believe demand for "quiet pc's" is raising, and minimising disc activity is one factor. >From http://noflushd.sourceforge.net/ "Journaling filesystems like ext3, reiserfs or xfs bypass the kernel's delayed write mechanisms. This amounts to lousy spindown times when working off such a partition. There's no workaround for this." regards, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
