I'm caught in a loop of overthinking things I don't know in enough depth...
Under Solaris, are the filesystem drivers smart enough to control EWOULDBLOCK based on nfs read-ahead's? I'm trying to decide if it'd be worth going to the trouble of implementing nonblocking io into the file reads of our httpd (whose docuement tree is all nfs-mounted)... Given the inherent latencies in NFS vs. local disk, I'm hoping that I could only issue reads to filehandles that already have read-ahead data. There's definately alot of other stuff that has to be worked and thought out as well, but I thought I figured I first see if the basic functionality was there before digging into it harder..
thanks. ..kg..
