This sounds like juju. Did your source provide numbers in support of this conclusion, or is it just concern about hard drive thrashing? If there is a documented causal relationship between too-often syncs and hard drive failure, I (and probably lots of other people) would be interested to see it. Personally, I would be skeptical that even daily syncs would do significant damage to a drive in good condition (all other things being equal). -- Ryan W Sims -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
