As someone who has seen people try this before, and benchmarked that it didn't work very well, if at all, I wish you good luck :) What are you going to use to predict what files to prefetch? Is this for an embedded system, where you know your workload, or for a "general" kernel improvement? thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
