You are talking about CacheFS? That hasn't been declared "ready to merge" yet. That said, is it really safe to use any flags other than PG_lock/PG_writeback there, David? I can't see that you want to allow other tasks to modify or free the page while you are writing it to the local cache. Cheers, Trond
