Hi, I'd like to receive comments/guide-lines about a hack I made to the 2.6.11 kernel to improve DVD-burning speed (using growisofs.) The basic idea is the 16-pages pipe between mkisofs and growisofs is too small for DVD burning (typical 4GB of data.) In the hack, pipe_new will simply check for, if privileges permitted, the enviroment variable PIPE_MAX_ORDER to see if a (much) longer pipe is requested. This hack enable me to burn DVD at 8X (instead of 3X) on my old P3-450MHz (with growisofs and mkisofs running at SCHED_FIFO.) -- Linh Dang
