Hi all; I was thinking, would it be posible to do a sort of incremental FS sync. By this I mean having the FS sync out ONE block whenever the null proc would be about to run, assuming that is had something to sync. This would let the bulk of sync (hopefully) be done for free! I can think of several prob's, but though it would be an interesting idea to through out. Also it might help on throughput a little, since a sync with floppy blocks can still make even a 386 stutter noticably. It just seemed to me to be a little silly to rack up null time, while the FS actually has stuff it could be doing. Comments??? mike.irons%lynx@helios.northeastern.edu
