Log:
Fix a file-rewrite performance case for UFS[2]. When rewriting portions
of a file in chunks that are less then the filesystem block size, if the
data is not already cached the system will perform a read-before-write.
The problem is that it does this on a block-by-block basis, breaking up the
I/Os and making clustering impossible for the writes. Programs such
as INN using cyclic file buffers suffer greatly. This problem is only going
to get worse as we use larger and larger filesystem block sizes.
The solution is to extend the sequential heuristic so UFS[2] can perform
a far larger read and readahead when dealing with this case.
(note: maximum disk write bandwidth is 27MB/sec thru filesystem)
(note: filesystem blocksize in test is 8K (1K frag))
