hi, our zfs has a logic to flush atime updates in zfs_netbsd_sync: > /* > * On NetBSD, we need to push out atime updates. Solaris does > * this during VOP_INACTIVE, but that does not work well with the > * BSD VFS, so we do it in batch here. > */ does anyone here remember why it "doesn't work well with the BSD VFS"? i'm running a kernel with a local patch to put it back to VOP_INACTIVE. i haven't noticed anything wrong with it so far.
