The original design of the handle managment was supposed to keep the stateof used/free handles on disk, but I couldn't come up with a good way to do this efficently. Neill and I did this scanning thing, "just to get things working", which of course ended up sticking around for a while :> Perhaps it's time to revisit the handle management code (I believe it's the oldest PVFS code left in the tree). If a quick read-and-discard of the trove db files in trove initialization means we can deal with millions of files in a few seconds, maybe that's a sufficent (if kind of gross) hack. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Lab, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
