Most of script/app developers was addicted to ordered mode for too long, so they no longer call fsync() before rename() in usual create new copy and rename scenario for configs/init scripts. Most of developers not even know that it is necessary(mandatory). And in fact consequences are usually fatal because files are usually important but old version was already unlinked. This affect both versions because ext3 now use writeback by default, and ext4 use writeback+delalloc. May be it is useful to introduce compat mount option which force fsync() internaly inside rename(). Renames is not what frequent operation so it has much less performance penalty as real ordered mode. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
