The solution to this problem is easy: just add an option to diskfs to allow the inode lock to be a reader/writer lock instead of a regular mutex, and tell diskfs to do whichever is appropriate. This might have some performance problems, but I'm not sure they would be all that significant. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
