Hmm, so it seems that repacking would be a quite mandatory thing to do once in a while. Is that what you are saying? Kinda strange, I do not think other fss need it that bad, but running it from cron.monthly would suffice. How much time does repacking take? I know it takes a lot of factors, but aproximately how much? During repacking is the system usable, i mean: can i start repacking and then continue hacking/writing/playing or whatever i am doing on the computer? -- Best regards, Pysiak
