I think the restrictions are the same for ext3 and reiserfs. GFS was the only filesystem I knew of that would do it on 2.2 kernels. If you used something that created a file per message, I'd look hard at reiserfs. Otherwise, your database idea sounds good, but I don't know of any mailing list software that use them.. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Adventure, excitement.. / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ A Jedi craves not these \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) things.
