I've got an odd performance issue. It seems that when fsync() is called on a file, other processes block when they try to access it. This is not merely due to I/O contention on the underlying block device, it seems. Oracle reported a similar performance issue in the Berkeley DB JE changelog. Is this really true? Are there any workarounds?
