This additional requirement for rename is unlikely to reduce write performance perceptably, because write/rename loads are relatively rare.

Mass file writes such as cp -a or untar do not typically use the write/rename method.
cp -a and untar might not, but rsync does. Thus, mass write/renames are probably not *that* rare. For instance, Gentoo uses rsync to download its portage tree, and there are lots of small files in that. And at my workplace we and our users often move large file trees (several gigabytes or even terabytes) between fileservers using rsync. /Bellman _______________________________________________ Tux3 mailing list Tux3@tux3.org http://mailman.tux3.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tux3
