Another intriguing observation:
If I do my file copy test from files that are already cached, then the data usually gets committed to disk more or less right away.
If the copy is done from uncached files, then the data usually does not get committed to disk until I "sync" or run the posix_fadvise test program on it.
Anyone else seeing this? 2.6.15-rc1, x86, 2GB - 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/
