have time to mentor it.

<title>Rewrite the in-kernel file system syncer</title>

<p><strong>Goals</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Change the syncer so it can sync out to multiple physical devices
simultaneously.</li>
<li>Only write out up to X megabytes of data, remember where it
left off, and then proceed to the next dirty file (OpenBSD and
NetBSD already do this).</li>
<li>Replace the write_behind code with something (detect the existence
of a large amount of sequential dirty data and kick another thread
to flush it out synchronously, instead of doing it itself
asynchronously) integrated into the syncer (the data set size could
perhaps be increased from 64KB to 1MB).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ability to read and understand foreign C code.</li>
<li>Ability to write C code.</li>
<li>Some understanding of the VM system / buffer cache.</li>
</ul>
