That's funny, i switched from default to CFQ on my notebook which has |
| 7 |
a rather slow disk and it feels much better, especially when |
| 8 |
recovering from suspend to disk which swaps out a lot. It's possible |
| 9 |
it decreases overall performance, but it may feel faster sometimes. |

Good thing you remind me of that. As a new ext3 convert (i happily |
| 17 |
used reiser3 for years before), any problems to be expected by doing |
| 18 |
so? Afaics it turns on B-trees which should have no impact on the |
| 19 |
safety of my data, right? Just want to make sure, i rather use a |
| 20 |
slightly slower file system than risking data loss. |
