Hi Luciano,

I see you are using a mount point called hd98 (hd that runs Win 98 ?)... What kind of filesystem the partition has ?

If I am right and this is a FAT partition, I will suggest you try with an ext2/3 partition... Post the results back to see if there is any diference... I never run a DB on a non native linux filesystem on a Linux box so can't say for sure... but soundslike strange to me to use non native filesystem for a file intensive application such a DBMS...

I think Linux will run faster on the same hardware... And my tests show exactly this...

See you and good luck !
