Pinned in the AIX-style "pinned memory" sense? Succinctly, AIX
allows userland programs to tag memory pages so as to guarantee that
they will not be swapped to backing store. Portions of the _KERNEL_
are paged out instead if necessary.
I assume that the pinning is of the AIX sort and that it is
Do you have access to more of the code than is currently posted on SGI's
web page? I am willing to sign an NDA in order to get access to all
relevant source. I would like to assist in porting XFS to Linux also. I would
very much like to see SGI succeed by using open source software in the

Doesn't the qsort just switch to isort *if* the partition to sort is short

Got to check it out, but afaik the size at that qsorts switch to isort is
usually between 8 and 24, with 16 being most common - both halfs are
shorter than 16, so they get isorted.

Glad to hear somebody is willing to dive in to XFS.
Right now I am one of three people working on the XFS to linux port, so I
have
pretty good view of what is currently happening.
When is it going to be ready?
Don't hold your breath. Officially SGI has said by the end of the year,

Hi,
I just setup my system so that "Joe" user can mount

loaded as a module)
however if it's not compiled into the kern
