Message-ID: <matsCD5KH2.FF4@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1993 19:22:13 GMT Lines: 15 I've heard a story that in the process of doing the log filesystem work at Berkeley (which I guess didn't get released - or did it? I've heard differing stories on this too), a long-standing bug was discovered (and fixed) in the Fast File System which prevented files from being laid down as contiguously as they might have, or some such. Does anyone have more detail on this - and where would one find details on the fix? I'm afraid I've been out of touch with this whole world for a long time, so I'm sorry if this is already commonly known "net.folklore". If it is, email replies only would probably be appropriate... -- Mats Wichmann Software Consultant mats@netcom.com
