Why not use aio for this instead, seems like a better fit than spawning a thread per block device? That would still require a thread for handling completions, but you could easily just use a single completion thread for all devices for this as it would not need to do any real work. -- Jens Axboe _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
