Are there problems with using libraries that are sharedly linked at compile time that I'm not aware of? There are plans to add the possibility for shell script callouts, but those would always be optional. I see no reason why we couldn't make any mlockall() call an option, too; preferably one that would be incompatible with the shell script callout stuff. I'm currently using glib because I wanted some utility functions that it provides, and since I already knew glib; to me, it feels stupid to reimplement the same things over and over again if there are libraries that provide them. If using glib is problematic for whatever reason, I'll certainly be willing to switch to "something else"; I just didn't feel like reinventing the wheel for no particular reason. [...] Would having the server use O_DIRECT help here? I would think that it would avoid it marking pages as dirty, but I'm not very familiar with the in-kernel bits. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 -
