Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this..." (Drinking tea) Doctor: "Take the spoon out do you don't poke yourself in the eye..." You *could* poke yourself in the eye if you really, really wanted to by turning sync write requests into async write requests using a #define in the FS code itself. I don't recommend you poke yourself anywhere, least of all your eye. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
