The hope is that the new adaptive read ahead code in the kernel will get this right and you won't need the second thread. Letting the kernel handle the read ahead will dynamically scale as other demands are made on the host. There's effectively only one read ahead cache in the system, only the kernel really knows how to divide it up between competing apps. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
