davidg 95/03/18 10:03:30 Modified: sys/ufs/ffs ffs_vfsops.c Log: Don't sync the inode date changes of character special devices during the FS sync. The system would appear to hang momentarily if there was a large backlog of I/O. This is because the vnode remains locked during the output - preventing normal character I/O. The problem was exacerbated by the FFS contiguous block allocation fixes and a semi-broken disksort(). The inode/date will still be synced during a normal FS dismount and whenever the inode is changed for other reasons.
