We saw something very similar to this about a year using FFS and soft updates when we were building a NAS appliance. The details escape me and I no longer work the company so I cannot grep the source code but here's what I remember. The softupdate code periodically flushes the meta data. There

tx driver

Hi all! I've encountered really awful behavior of my SMC card using tx driver in FreeBSD 4.3. On 100 Mbps network I get the throughput just about 200 kBps :-( Colleagues of mine running some PC based routers have very similar experiences with this driver (in both 4.3 and 4.4 Rel's) The same card

Any FS that shares code with an existing FS will not flush out the full list of problems associated with writing a new FS in the context of a FreeBSD system. how about an implementation of plan9's kfs? it is fairly simple, with dentries similar to unix inodes, eg. typedef struct {

UFS/FFS is/are proven through time. Throw in the softupdates technology, and you have the upside of journalling, without the downside of journalling. No. I'm not going into details, first because I'm not qualified, and second, others already have. I think the bottom line to this whole
