Ok, file size is now set shortly after open and can't be changed: - rrd_open() calculates file size for new files and calls mmap once for the whole file - rrd_resize() cleaned up, no longer passing a size through the cookie argument - rrd_init(&my_rrd) must be called before rrd_open() - if people are calling rrd_open directly from application code, this might be troublesome. Alternative solutions: creating an additional function, rrd_open_create(), or adding an extra argument to rrd_open() for setting the file size - my rrd_lock() patch changes no actual code (just moves it to another file) and does not depend on the other patches, so it can be applied first Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ This e-mail may contain information that is confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
