Chris said he'll either announce something on tuesday or pass the code to me to
finish it.

No. file_write code should speed up writes that are done in big chunks (more
than 4k).

What tool do you use for backup?
I certainly see the difference when doing
 dd if=/dev/zero of=somefile bs=1024k count=100

also when doing cp bigfile /another_disk/anotherfile

Also very huge difference is seen when creating holes ;)
e.g compare time of seeking to 128Gb and writing one byte between
2.4.20-pre7 and 2.4.20-pre6 ;)
Code for that was once posted on our mailing list.
When you will feel that 2.4.20-pre7 hanged, don't trust that feeling
and wait till the end of operation. ;)

> Have I missed something?

To see the difference you need to fed FS with large chuncks of data.

Bye,
