> The lloop driver should be removed entirely - use the loop driver > instead. I talked with Andreas last week at our annual Lustre users group meeting about this. The reason I was told for existance is that some users were using files on a Lustre file system with the loop back device. The performance was really bad at the time so a lloop was developed to overcome those limitations. Its been a long time so perhaps its time to look at the default loop driver again to see if can perform now. If it doesn't we will go the route of reworking the lloop driver in the spirit of the cryptoloop device. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
