rpm and file system
Hi,

There is an option to specify rpm while creating the file system ( default - 3600 ).

Question is, If a file system which is built with default option is restored to a new disk with a higher rpm capacity, ( say 7200 rpm ), am I loosing any performance gains ?

I mean, should I go for a 'newfs ....' in the new disk with proper rpm selection and copy the contents ?

Is there significant performace gains by specifying correct rpm ?

Thanks in advance..

rpmdb

RPMDB(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  RPMDB(8)

NAME

       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

DESCRIPTION

       The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY]

       Use  --initdb  to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the
       database indices from the installed package headers.

SEE ALSO

       popt(3),
       rpm(8),
       rpmkeys(8),
       rpmsign(8),
       rpm2cpio(8),
       rpmbuild(8),
       rpmspec(8),

       rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that	what's	described  in  the  manual
       matches what's available.
