This seems to me to be something that FUSE filesystems might well like, too: I know one I'm working on would like to know the real size of the original write request (so that it can optimize layout appropriately for things frequently written in large chunks; the assumption being that if it's written in large chunks it's likely to be read in large chunks too). -- `Voting for any American political party is fundamentally incomprehensible.' --- Vadik - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
