That's probably a good idea in any case. Down the road I will be interested in whether barriers work through encrypted file systems and this will be a good test to have available. I should get at most 120 commits per second if write barriers are working; so I think that should be easy to detect. Is there already a tool out there that does this? It shouldn't be hard to write something simple, but maybe someone has written something fancy already. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
