Re: g_file_storage speed issue

Thanks for your reply!

I tried adding the line you suggested to dummy_hcd, unfortunately it
doesn't seem to have any effect on the speed.  Any ideas?

Yeah, I've tried all sorts of ways of tricking it with loop0,
including making a symlink and renaming the device node.
Unfortunately they don't work.  Someone clever had written a tool that
uses LD_PRELOAD to intercept vmware's ioctls and rewrite them, but
unfortunately that doesn't work currently.

I'd like to get it working with this, do you have any other ideas on
how to speed up/simplify this layer?
