Date: Wed, 29 Jan 1997 13:30:05 +0200 (EET) From: Hannu Savolainen <hannu@voxware.pp.fi> Btw, allowing some kind of buffer cache write through would be an usefull feature. Some applications (like data logging) work better blocks written by an application are sent to the disk immediately. In this way the disk I/O caused by the application is distributed over longer period of time and it doesn't become an bottleneck. This kind of mode could be turned on using fcntl() or something like it so that it doesn't disturb normal applications. Is anybody interested in implementing this kind of feature in Linux? It's there already --- see O_SYNC. - Ted | ||||||||||||
