Ever? Maybe this code isn't really needed if nobody even thought about changing it. Clearly there are two extremes (always and never) for which we have atime/noatime. I'm not sure we need to have any smarts in the middle point for the user to change. If this is something people wish to see tuned better, I would rather spend the code size in trying to get it autotuning. -- Arjan van de Ven Intel Open Source Technology Centre For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org -- 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
