[Xapian-discuss] Filesystems

[Kevin Duraj]

Based on my observation Flint runs best on ext3 filesystems, but you
might want to play with the filesystem block size. Depends on your
data size you might try to increased the filesystem block size, which
might help you in return to increase in performance, thus less reads
needs to be performed when reading Xapian Flint database. Try to
reformat your hard disk with larger ext3 filesystem block size and let
us know.
