- Hi all!
-
- (1) Questions: I'd like to hear more comments regarding my FUTIME fcntl
- proposal.
-
- (2) An idea that could be very convenient for file systems that try
- to keep the fragmentation low: what about an Fcntl opcode to inform
- the driver about the amount of bytes that *will* be written to the
- file? Desktops and copy programs (like cp) could use this.
