They are there so you don't have to take to avoid the mother of all cache line bounces when allocating blocks. I will note that with insane-machines-that-only-SGI-would-love with 1024 processors, percpu_counters are always going to take huge amounts of memory. So the ext2/ext3 superblock can't be the only place where you're running in to problems here.... - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
