Re: short term task list for Reiser4

2006-07-16 Thread Gary Wilson Jr.
Just wanted to mention that I have experienced pauses also. I use gentoo, and have triggered the problem when saving a small text file in vim while emerging in the background. Upon save and exit (:wq) vim will just hang there anywhere from 5-30 seconds. Let me know if/how I can help.

This sounds like it should be fixed in the driver, not in reiserfs. It sounds like the driver is violating Posix naming, and should be fixed to conform to it. Have the driver create an fs mountpoint, and then have the driver handle the number. I really don't get why reiserfs has any role in this

So the Plan 9 and Unix way would be to let the driver parse the number part of the name after the last slash. What I don't understand is why reiserfs is getting involved here, rather than recognizing the driver as an extension of the namespace, seeing the driver as a mountpoint, and just passing n
