Again, be warned that there's no guarantee we will ever use LZO compression. The plan of record is to disable compression on selected files instead. That's not to say you shouldn't do the work if it interests you, just that you'll be facing an uphill battle & don't say we didn't warn you. =) > worthwhile to include in the kernel.

I'd be interested to know exactly how far we are from being IO limited at present. Are we quibbling about details in the noise? --scott ps. even with the above warning, there are many scenarios we might find ourselves using LZO on jffs2, at least for a short while, so good luck! -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
