[rrd-developers] rrd file access code

[Daniel.Pocock at barclayscapital.com]

Hi,

I've just been reviewing the file access code and starting to implement
a mechanism for striping multiple RRDs into one big file, to further
reduce IO load.

There are various functions in rrd_open.c (e.g. rrd_read, rrd_write)
that can be abstracted to do what is required.

However, I notice that some other files (e.g. rrd_create.c) also have
code which accesses files directly (e.g. calling open() to create a
file).

Is there some ongoing work to centralise the file access code?  Would it
be worthwhile for me to patch some of this code (e.g. rrd_create.c) to
go through the functions in rrd_open.c, or is there some other solution
coming?

Regards,

Daniel
