Hello Eric (and all),
What's the state of your vm_store patches from the series you posted a
while back? There are a couple of things I'd like to play with along
their lines: using vm_stores for ext2 metadata to make prefetching of
indirect blocks 'just happen' during truncate, rather than making it
explicite as would currently be the case.

My machine has been off for about the last month,
I was installing a CD writer and my secondary hard driver controller
ide1 is scrambled, and it scrambled my hard drive.
Backups would have been nice but that's what the CD writer was for. . .
I'll be moving it up to newer kernels in the next while.
Together with some hard thinking about what I really want in the kernel
and what is really useful.
But I need to review 2.3.7 yet.
If you could explain (pseudo code maybe) what you are looking to
do in a little more detail it would certainly help motivate me. :)
Eric
