If you have 6000 partitions mounting by UUID without a cache, does this mean that mount would scan the partitions over 10 million times to complete it's job? Is this the problem being solved? Obviously mount -a could optimise but which 600 seperate mount commands I imagine this would be an issue. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > "the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or > religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. > Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do." > - Samuel P.
