as folks sugested, my reiserfs volume seems to have been corrupted. regenerating it for another domU works ok so far (and under almost no load ;-) interesting info turned up however. I made an exact copy of the harvee image (ext3) onto the tbtf Reiser FS based file system. /dev/bigraid/root_harvee 4.0G 2.5G 1.4G 65% /mnt/source_root /dev/bigraid/root_tbtf 4.0G 1.9G 2.2G 47% /mnt/newroot I knew the file fragment packing of reiserfs was effective but I''ve never had such a clear demonstration of it. more later --- eric -- http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.03/view.html?pg=5 The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that prices and service suck. We''re the world''s leader in Internet technology - except that we''re not. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Under ext3, even the smallest file takes whole blocksize (4kB by default), at least AFAIK :-). -jkt -- cd /local/pub && more beer > /dev/mouth ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
