Turning off barriers, depending on your storage, could lead to corruption in some cases. Mounting with data=writeback can expose stale data, which could even be a security issue. But as long as you make these decisions consciously, they may fit your needs. > So apart from losing a few more > seconds of work in case of an error, the fs should be fine. This part is correct, barriers on and longer commit time should not affect filesystem consistency / integrity. -Eric > C. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
