we don't have a need for better performance since we aren't running a high production server. on the other hand, the possibility of learning and using a different fs is appealing to both my son and myself since we setup our system as an educational venture. we want to run our servers through virtual box off usb drives which is a total departure from what we've done over the years. so might as well throw in a new fs too. :D this is a wonderful list and there are so many informative answers to my original post! i very much appreciate yours in particular, stan! we will do as you say and start reading up about fs and especially about xfs! -- in friendship, prad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
