Can you try the following: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/ext4/ext4_sync_file_enter/enable ... then wait for a minute or so, and then capture the output of: cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace That should allow us to see what is causing the excess commits. -- 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
