I had noticed that there was, say, 5 seconds of disk activity after the cp |
| 17 |
command complete which I assumed was buffers getting flushed, but 5 seconds |
| 18 |
didnt seem that significant overall. I will run the tests as you suggest and |
| 19 |
post back. Do you think btrfs (with or without compression) would be faster |
| 20 |
than reiser? If so I will try that as well. |
