Pathological casesPathological casesPosted Feb 5, 2010 14:10 UTC (Fri) by corbet (editor, #1)In reply to: Pathological cases by alex Parent article: Improving readahead Yes, the readahead code tracks hits and stops trying when the program skips around a lot - that happens now.

That should nicely take care of the "update the header" case described here.
