Speed up blocklist and stat -c

steve6375 opened this issue · 3 comments

Is it possible to speed these up? They really are unusable at the moment.
doing a stat -c on a large 3GB ISO takes minutes.
Is this a blocksize problem (like using --bs=512 works for dd?)

I tried to modify some codes, which can successfully speed up blocklist file in FAT partition.
However it crashes on NTFS.

Please don't give up. It really is important because any file which is used by partnew must be contiguous and so we should always check that the file is contiguous before using it...
