I didn't request (or push) for any change in the first place because i do not know what that change does in the first place. I simply tried to benchmark it to see whether such a problem occurs. This testing was done with 1.99~rc1 release (not bzr trunk and not with the 16 KiB alignment patch) and I am not sure whether the same results might occur bzr trunk. I do not know whether the proposed change will solve the problem because i am not a programmer. Of course i will test any patch you send to me if i have time and if i am able to obtain any useful info. The only info you (phcoder) mentioned is that you tried for dynamic cache allocation (http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg15793.html). If you can provide an updated patch i will test it (is the blockio patch same as this?). Sorry but i don't mean to offend anyone in this mail. - Keshav _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
