AFAIK "fastfs" just makes directory operations asynchronous. This is a big performance gain on the creation and deletion of files, but does not speed up working with existing files. The only thing the filesystem has to do on close() is to update the ?time fields in the inode. I doubt that is done synchronously. /ol -- < Otmar Lendl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | EUnet AG Systems Engineer > -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-developers WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
