I can't understand why such a patch is simply ignored from the maintainers of the subsystem, no comment, no review, no checkin. If you would at least give a explanation why it is a bad idea to have hot data on fast drives or the general approach is simply bad or there are some quirks in the code that needs to be fixed - then alright. But ignoring a patch like this that will make many people happy is not understandable form my perspective and the only explanation I can think of is some bad intention or a conflict with a employer... This patch story is just disappointing. Zhi Yong Wu, thanks for the great patch. kind regards Daniel
