That is standard practice, and used to improve performance. Keep in mind though that there is but one buffer for each file device, and that while the particular bits in the buffer may not be written to the physical media immediatly they will be written sequentially. Go ahead and do you research, but you're not going to find anything.... -- kevin zollinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
