How much RAM is in the embedded system? With tuning if various buffer sizes and thread counts, the amount of RAM used on a client could be reduced substantially (at some cost in performance), depending on just how tight the RAM is. Also, it would likely be possible to shrink the code in a number of ways by adding #ifdefs for different functionality you might not need: - disable flock - disable quotas - disable O_DIRECT and associated IO path - make no-op debugging macros We'd likely accept patches to make these configure options if it is done cleanly.
