on your actual scan times which if you want to achieve 65 message/sec is<br>
where you need to focus your efforts first.<br>

I've seen XFS consistently come last in several benchmarks for mail<br>
server type traffic. See <a href="http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7345/2/" target="_blank">http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7345/2/</a> for a<br>
review of filesystems I read yesterday.<br>
<div></div></blockquote><div><br> </div></div>I have had good results so far with XFS. I am willing to give NILFS a spin. Anyone else can vouch for it? Every last bit of performance that can be extracted from a system matters. Looking forward for further input in this thread.<br>
