https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1007619 --- Comment #8 from Derek Higgins <derekh@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The motivation behind this is to speed up disposable systems, for example it can be used to speed up arbitrary CI or Unit tests where data corruption following an error doesn't matter, the test is just rerun. In the specific example that prompted me to take over this review request, eatmydata greatly speeds up yum installs during CI tests and qcow image builds, if anything fails during either of these processes I would just rerun. I'm sure its possible to get a similar performance increase by tuning storage but for processes that can be run on arbitary systems it may not always be possible or practical to do the appropriate tuning. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
