I'm running Linux travis 2.6.15-1-686 #2 Mon Mar 6 15:27:08 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux on a laptop with ext3 on / Some time ago things started getting weird in the following way: I do a fairly normal hack, ^Z, make, test loop when developing and it seems that vim is calling fsync or sync and that is then flushing everything to disk. My tests create maybe 10 dozen files in ~30MB and for some reason this is taking 4 seconds to flush. I'm not sure if ext3, the kernel, or vim is the problem. I already googled and set set swapsync=sync set nofsync in my .exrc but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else seen this and do they have a work around? I'm about to switch to reiserfs and that's a lot of fuss for what should be a simple problem (I hope).
