The question is, does that make your testing better or worse in terms of checking the new code? Clearly you have done a good job of checking the "disk can't keep up" case, is there a need to test further with a much higher transaction rate?
I would assume that if there were lock issues they would have shown up, which is probably all that's needed. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - 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/
