For instance all Red Hat/Fedora distros have aliases for ls that map them to 'ls --color=auto' I was actually just trying to figure out whether the application (ls) was doing all those file stats, or whether readdir was somehow doing them by mistake. Sounds like it's the application. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
