I used strace to check md5sum & sha1sum: they use read() syscalls of 32,768 bytes. stat().st_blksize is 4,096 bytes. I'm not sure that it matters so much to use large read. But I don't really care, I'm also ok to use something large like 256 kB. Note: The cp command uses read() syscalls of 131,072 bytes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26488> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
