I keep meaning to ask Chet about this. Do you know if the DEC PrestoServe product allows asynchronous writes to local filesystems' inode and directory blocks? For Decwrl, that would be a big win since it creates and deletes a lot of files per second. I'm posting this to Usenet since I think the answer would be generally interesting.
