The work required by the kernel to check changes must be minimal. I still doubt that an ioctl for GPT will actually yield something that's even remotely easy for the kernel to check and I start to like the operations based interface for exactly that, but I get the impression that trying to work out something now is not going to help. It looks like a case of bad timing due to the number of issues that need to be dealt with at the same time. So, for now: carry on. When the work is done and we have a moment to relax, we can collect all the data and see if there's something we can do to improve... ...
