Why bother with a user-specified flag? Can't cp always invoke posix_fadvise with the POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL | POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE option? Have you tried benchmarking this on a real GNU/Linux system? There's no point doing it if it doesn't help much. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
