Subject: Allocate on Flush in vfat?
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2009 11:39:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49EB45A3.4040402@comcast.net> (raw)

Would it be completely unpossible, in theory, to add allocate-on-flush 
to vfat?  I don't see a reason why, it's just a driver semantic and not 
a disk data structure semantic...

I'm looking at a USB stick copying gigs of data and thinking about this. 
I have doubts there's any real world advantage, although in the same 
theory you could backport AOF to ext3/2 or you couldn't.
