Lets look at actual scope of the problem: filesystem metadata filesystem data (fsync, O_SYNC, O_DIRECT) block device data (fsync, O_SYNC, O_DIRECT) Multiply the cases above times each filesystem and also times md and device mapper, since the barriers need to aggregate down to all the drives. In other words, just fixing fsync in 2.4 is not enough, and there is still considerable development needed in 2.6. Maybe after all the 2.6 changes are done and accepted we can consider backporting parts of it to 2.4. -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
