Hi, I noticed blkid causing a noticeable amount of disk hits while identifying an NTFS (Win7) partition, and did an strace to find out why this was. It seems that the probe_zfs() function does a seek-and-read-41-bytes pattern 64 times in the 130 to 520 KB region of the partition. This of course is slow on a traditional hard disk, and seems excessive. I don't know the internals of NTFS or of ZFS. Can someone with a little more knowledge in this area provide some pointers as to why this might be happening? -- John Lindgren -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
