| |
hi all,
i hope this is the right place to ask question... anyway, it goes like this:
how can i invalidate the read cache for a file system?
the reason i'm asking this question is:
i'm mounting this ntfs partition to my linux box r/o, which i also used by "another os" running under vmware r/w.
so when this partition gets updated under vmware, linux does not get the changes until i umount / mount the partition again.
the problem is, i cant do this when the partiton is busy so i'm stuck with invalid directory entries etc...
so, is there a way to disable or invalidate the read cache for this partition?
thanks in advance. - 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/
