hello to all.... i mount a new slave hard disk with fat32 format ... i decided to use this kind of fileFormat so that i could use it in other workstations running M$.. now as i noticed .. my pc became a little bit slower than before so i just edited my /etc/fstab and remove the newly added line .. and everything is now back to normal... is there any workaround in this kind of situation? tia -- kent E. <kent-cdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cdr
