- Where "read" and "write" are to be taken in a very general sense. For
- example, at least on the BSD file system, "create", "unlink", etc. are
- to be thought of as write requests, as they involve writes to the disk,
- and those writes are done synchronously (even if the requests *don't*
- come from NFS).
