[RFC][PATCH] make file's timestamp more accurate

2010-08-31 Thread Satoru Takeuchi
Hi, linux has supported nanosecond order file's timestamp since 2.5.48. However current file timestamp is got by current_fs_time() and is only updated once a tick. It can't say true nanosecond accuracy. In addition, gettimeofday() before a file operation updating {a,c,m}time would outstrip file's

Question about specific patch (eMMC)

Hello all, Is there any patches for btrfs to use enhanced area in eMMC (it will allow to boost performance i.e. it very useful to keep metadata within this area) ? If it's exist let me know how to find it and use it. Thanks, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe

Thinking about this a bit more, would a setup with btrfs on top of DRBD be a setup that comes in the neighboorhood of what SnapMirror provides? DRBD does replication at the blocklevel, without any notion of a filesystem on top of it (as I understand this). So, if I make a snapshot on a DRBD'ed
