Hi folks,
is anyone already working on an venti-based storage format which is optimized for streaming ? VAC eg. is good for archiving, but it's tree-based structure is probably not optimal for streaming (on large files, a lot of blocks IMHO have to be loaded before getting the first payload block can be reached). Some kind of linked list, eg. like in CMD-1541 filesystem (each block as an pointer to the next one) or an linked list of index blocks would fit better. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
