Is this more efficient than aio_fsync, and if so, why? For file writes, aio_fsync seems like a cleaner interface, and if that's not fast enough, it could be made faster - perhaps using code form this patch. (An aio_fsync_ranges would be even better). -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
