What cache are you talking about here? The config option "CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_BUFFERS" (Free buffers for data gathering) is not used in the 2.4 version of the packet writing patch.
I use all three option in the block devices. ... taken from your patch for 2.4.18-pre7 And i have enabled all three CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_BUFFERS set to 4096 If i increase this value i can have a better write speed for large number of little files? This buffer where is allocated? In memory or in harddrive?
This value is not used at all, so changing it has no effect in the 2.4 version of the packet patch. I think I will remove it from the next patch to avoid confusion. The 2.5 version does use this value, but I wouldn't recommend trying that version unless you are a programmer and want to spend some time trying to figure out how to fix the compile/link errors usually seen with a vanilla 2.5 kernel. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
