Dyson" Cc: dg@root.com, hackers@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Directories not VMIO cached at all! Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG :You are right about VDIR's not being B_VMIO. That was a decision made early :on when the vfs_bio code was not trustworthy :-). It is okay, and advantageous :to cache VDIR's with merged cache. : :I agree that it is time to make the change. : :-- :John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, DG agrees. Great! David says he will do the commit. I really like the effect the patch has had on my systems, I think this patch is a candidate for MFC'ing to -stable later on, too ( before the next release ). We might eventually be able to get rid of B_MALLOC entirely, but I'll save that for a later time. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
