From: Paul Collins Subject: tune2fs -I 256 -- kind of slow?

The filesystem is about 33GiB, 3/4 full, ~85,000 inodes. The machine is a 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo, SATA disk. It seemed to be CPU-bound, soaking up a core for the whole run. Does this sound right? Running e2fsprogs 1.41.3-1 from Debian unstable. -- Paul Collins Wellington, New Zealand Dag vijandelijk luchtschip de huismeester is dood
