This is where my knowledge of ODM is a little lacking. Once you link an ODM library, wouldn't _all_ I/O calls go through the ODM library even if it doesn't do anything but pass through to kernel I/O functions? In other words, by simply linking in the dNFS ODM library could you be exposed to any potential bugs in the ODM library? -- http://about.me/jeremy_schneider On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 9:15 AM, Martin Berger <martin.a.berger@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > As long as you do not need any other ODM library in those setups I assume it > just doesn't matter. > If the code is not used at all, only the mapped .so in memory might differ > in size.
