Hi, all As some RAID Controllers provides non-violate cache with battery to protect data during power loss. For SATA disk, we want enable nobarrier options to boost IO performance. But no barrier option require us to use a real File on filesystem instead of a raw device, which may cause more inode content updating and degrade performance. I wonder, is that meaningful to add an option such like enable_journal_nobarrier to tell whether open raw device with O_DSYNC or not (default set to false), to guide the journal write without barrier if we are definitely sure that our cache on SSD or RAID Controller is non-violate?
