XFS and JFS do block and inode allocation fully SMP multithreaded. reiserfs/ext2/ext3 do not. Still in 2.4 the VFS takes the big kernel lock unnecessarily for a few VFS operations (no matter if the underlying FS needs it or not). That's fixed in 2.5. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
