Sorry for butting in. I think Archie is referring to bg fsck gaining an unfair share of cpu due to it running due to IO completions. Last I heard, we were waiting until after 5.0 to experiment with scheduler changes to make it more fair. I have not seen any hard locks or other problems with bg fsck after your commit. -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
