Yes, those performance factors have to been taken in account. The bandwith intensive workloads depends on the implementation of the filesystem. Note that I am not involved in the internal details of this filesystem, my goal is to integrate it in the Linux kernel. The usage of cache memory in this distributed schemas is complicated. Probably it will be necessary to implement protocols to ensure cache coherency and consistency. Hum... it seems that we are going away from environment variables :) -- Guillermo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
