From: Greg Haerr <greg_at_censoft.com>
Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2002 19:51:16 -0700 : First of all, I'm still not thrilled with the idea of updating the dir : entry for every file access. : : Secondly, saving to the hard disk at powerdown time is bound to fail, : especially if the disk isn't spinning. With the buffer-cache implementation of file data, fat, and dir buffers I'm suggesting, it would be a simple extra bit to flag non-write-data buffers for updating only when the drive is spinning, and to postpone any i/o until the HD starts spinning from some other request. I'm not advocating the read-access updating, just pointing out that it could be implemented quite smartly.
