Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Can anyone explain for me what are short read and short write? Under what circumstances will they happen and how FreeBSD deals with them? I come to this question while looking at code in file ufs/ufs_readwrite.c.
