Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 10:06:04 -0400 From: "David E. Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Since I am planning on writing userfs in order to impliment 'nsd' (and some other ideas I have hatching too :). I need to know how filesystem accesses work. Can they be queued up, and responded to out of order? For example... I have a request come in (via the filesystem), that request is going to take awhile, so I thread off a handler. Now another filesystem request comes in, will that be delivered to me, or will that block waiting for the previous request to be honored first? -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
