I've committed the O_DIRECT patch to -current.
It took about 6 hours to get -current running on one of my test boxes
to test the patch. After several tries I finally gave up trying to
buildworld on the test box (which by that time was hopelessly mixed up
with partially installed kernels, modules, and worlds) and instead did
a buildworld and buildkernel of -current on my main -stable box, then
installworld and installkernel's it via NFS mounts of /usr/src and
/usr/obj. To my complete amazement, that actually worked! And not
having the source or object files on the -current machine itself
means I can very easily reinstall -current on test boxes now by
booting the 4.2 CD into an emergency shell and going from there. I
highly recommend the methodology.
