My server is used as NFS (for couple of clients) and Samba for few more,
both read only.
It is a simple Pentium III with 128MB and normal IDE HD
It has hundreds of files sized up 100k to 300k.
Will it perform better if I will change the properties of the partition
to read-only ? Change the properties of the ext2 F.S. ?
