Of course, see my suggestion for how to handle this in the post after the
one you replied to.
>I do hope these buffers aren't allocated an boot time but at mount time,

At mount time and only if the volume supports compression. And they are
ntfs global, i.e. not per mount point. That is still a big ram waste.
>I'm sorry it sounds like NTFS code needs rework, not Rusty's patch.
Sorry to disappoint you but my code is as efficient as possible while
NR_CPUs is as ugly and inefficient as hell.

I hope I have managed to do that. (-:
