I can think of certain situations when companies may care about getting most of the data to disk and clean it up later.

Not saying this is always preferred but I can see a use case. mrubin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
