what you say are just what i want to know. in fact ,when i copy the file(20M)
that in ram disk to hard disk, it really will take little time in ext3
filesystem as it do in ext2 file system(no more than 1 second).So i want to
konw how to find the problem and how to solve it.

                                                               X.C.
