I have no idea, but considering the space supported by the filesystem it's probably a hell of a lot. It seems like we've solved it; the Solaris ppc-dev repository has an updated atomic.c which implements a kernel mutex for 64-bit ops. I've forwarded this on, hopefully it ISN'T a hell of a lot or this is going to knock filesystem performance on the head for 32-bit ppc :D Thanks for your help. -- Matt Sealey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
