Haven't made much progress--all my spare time for work like this lately has been stuck fighting broken hardware and OS issues on my test systems. I have a lot more time set aside for PostgreSQL hacking this month, and I'll look at that and the checkpoint block sorting patch I've also been tinkering with soon and kick back an initial review of each. But if anybody else is keen on working on either patch, let me know. Be glad to assist instead of lead. It takes fairly serious hardware to work on either of these usefully though. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD
