>From other comments in this thread, I still have quite a bit of work ahead of me :) If I can accomplish this, then I will run it on a different architecture. I have access to a parisc-linux and a powerpc system. > Also, what's the performance cost? Not sure yet. My goal would be 0 impact on 32-bit system and something small on 64-bit systems that would hopefully be overcome by a performance gain in IO.
