A I got it from the other thread - seek times :) Perhaps using some big (virtual) chunk size could do the trick? What about using chunks that big that seeking is faster than data-transfer... assuming a data rate of 50MB/s and 9ms average seek time would result in at least 500kB chunks, 14ms average seek time would result in at least 750kB chunks. However, since the blocks being read are most likely somewhat close together, it's not a typical average seek, so probably smaller chunks would also be possible. regards Mario -- <Sique> Huch? 802.1q?
