	Will Apple someday let us to turn of caching a disk completely
off? This would be mainly for development. I read someplace that
gsos caches the most recent directory access info, and the cache NDA, only
controls the block caching done by gsos..  I've just had a directory
crash yet again on my hard drive, and now I have to backup/init/restore
the whole drive just because the directory is too messed up to even get
rid of now.  I am looking for a way to turn of directry caching in gsos,
so that the directory wouldn't have turned out so bad.  I even had part
of a toolbox macro file go in the directory (it was in memory someplace
from something else..) This happend from a program, trying to create a
file to a directory that didn't exist... Getting a tad sick of having my
hard drive directory structur being completely wiped out by most anything
that can go wrong with gsos...
