Hello, > The patch does improve performance significantly, especially on > slow/low-end/dodgy hardware where fsync is expensive. I strongly agree with this patch. On my low end hardware performance was about 2MB/s. Removing fsync() jumped to more than 60 MB/s. The suggested behavior is safe enough for a tape activity. Even with physical tapes, I believe that in case of a system crash or power loss, the effects will be the same or worst ... Thumbs up for its integration in the mainline code. -- Gabriele -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
