Since utimes of a cached file could reset the file time before a write is sent remotely, do NFS and the Linux cluster file systems simply turn setattr of any timestamp into a fsync of all cached file data? (this seems excessive when the file is cacheable/oplocked). Is there are precedent for caching the write of timestamps when writebehind file data is cached (otherwise the performance penalty could be horrible)? -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
