Check out g_disk_start(). The split is done based on disk-specific d_maxsize, not hardcoded MAXPHYS, of course. > It seems, that these children request are issued one-by-one, not in > parallel, am I right? Why? It breaks down parallelism, when > underlying GEOM can process several requests simoltaneously? How do you *issue* the child requests in parallel? Of course, they can *run* in parallel if system configuration permits that and request run time is sufficient for an overlap to happen. Besides, there are no geoms under disk geom, it works on peripheral drivers. But maybe I misunderstood your question and you talked about a different I/O layer or different I/O path. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
