This thread is also relevant in the discussion: http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/hurd-devel/2001q4/000134.html I wonder what ideas Neal had, I couldn't find a thread where he described his ideas. An advantage of Rolands solution to the problem that it makes it easy to implement ordered writes (Or am I really confused?). I still don't understand Thomas' solution, what will the implementation look like? The filesystem can map a mapping window, and simply use it? Another thing I wonder: Why do memory objects have a maximum size of 4GB? Isn't it possible to create a memory object with the size of the entire store and use mapping windows? (Or am I confused again? :)). Can someone please describe how this works in more detail if I'm wrong? I assume more people are confused by this. thanks, Marco Gerards _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
