Re: ext3 filesystem / linux 7.3

What is the URL of that article?  I understood that ext2 was faster with PG
and so I went to a lot of trouble of creating an ext2 partition just for PG
and gave up the journalling to do that.  Something about double effort since
PG already does a lot of that.

Bruce, is there a final determination of which is faster/safer?
