Why not incorporate some ideas from Sprite? One feature that seemed to
speed things up in general was the fact that no metadata gets written out
for a newly created file until it has aged 30 seconds.
It seems to me this could be a win in a couple of ways:
- Small, tmp files exist only in the buffer cache & never get
written to disk if they don't live more that 30 seconds.
- There out to be a way to queue all the newly created files together
then write them out together at once after they've lived 'X' amount
of time.
Where can I find an indepth explanation of how the FFS file system code works?
