I'd expect there really isn't much of a win from doing this. The disk buffer system should cache the really crucial inode blocks for you. It's been a while since I've been inside a BSD I/O system, though, so you probably want to double check this on -hackers. If you really feel that's not good enough, I once added a cron job that every so often just read in the directory structure for the crucial directories. This caused them to be refreshed in the cache, and thus kept in memory. <mike On Tue, 2 Feb 1999, Wile Coyote wrote: > For added performance on multi-user freebsd boxes, I was wondering if > there's any way to load the inode structure in memory.
