I got this filesystem on lvm, and I want my harddisk if there a several processes accessing the disk-image to go to the position of process one, read 256k of data, go to the position of process two, read 256k of data, go again to the position of the nex process, read 256k of data and so one to minimize movement of the harddisk-readhead. And of course my problem is, that I want that only on this filesystem (it is a reiserfs-filesystem) or logical volum. Not on the other filesystems on this harddisk which contain normal data or swapspace (this behaviour could cause a really ugly performance for swapspace) The system is currently able to fully satisfy a 100 mbit ethernetconnection, but I would like how I can get some extra performance in such situations. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
