Ok, I looked at the substance of it, and it seems fine.

I'm actually quite interested in your mentioning support for cuncurrent=20
writes. What did you have in mind for that?

The two things I see that are needed are:

1) some way to handle keeping the writes out of each others' way. An=20
extent map comes to mind...

2) how do we keep potential allocations out of each others' way? i.e.=20
fine-grained locking on changing the block allocation tables. ??

Taek care,

Bill
