Hi, I am starting to do some benchmarks using mongo (www.namesys.com), and I am surprised by the big difference between ext3/2.2.19 and ext3/2.4.14. Sometimes the latter performs 3 or 4 times faster. Someone has similar results or is there something wrong in my test ? Attached is the benchmark. By the way, during the test, I got the message kernel: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,10)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28 I guess this is because I ran out of inode ? But the kernel should not complain about it, the usual message is "no space left on the device" (that I also got during the test). Liu
