All things considered, I think we should just pla to leave it this way for 5.0-R. Until now people were used to wait for fsck to finish, at least now they can do something in while it runs. I belive GEOM provides the framework where we can properly tag I/O requests with a priority, propagate that priority down to the device drivers and act accordingly in the disksort disk-scheduling code. That would allow us to address not only the bgfsck but also things like silly-seek-syndrome and other sub-optimal issues in our current I/O system. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
