Hello,

Does the  ext3 file systems have to wait for the acknowledgement of block of 
data written to the SCSI device before writing the next block of data.

Is there a parallel I/O where the file system goes on writing the block of 
data
without waiting for the acknowledgement.

Please let me know your opinion.

Thanks
Jayshankar
