Hi! I have uploaded a new packet patch for kernel 2.4.18-pre2 to: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/packet-2.4.18-pre2.patch.b... There are two performance improvements: * The 2.4.18-pre2 kernel has a fix to better sort the request queue when requests can not be merged. This fix will in some cases improve write performance, because previously the same packet was sometimes written more than once to the disc. * File-level read-ahead has been enabled for the pktcdvd device. This improves read performance, especially when doing something more advanced than just reading single large files. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
