Regardless, can we just implement the damned thing rather than removing it? Plenty of people have asked for it and they still want this functionality. I've sent a couple of different prototypes that worked but got bikeshedded to death, and IIRC Ben also tried to get it implemented but that went nowhere because other parts of his patchset got bikeshedded to death. If nothing else, just let me implement it in XFS like I did the first time so when all the bikshedding stops we can convert it to the One True AIO Interface that is decided on. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com
