Yup. And it's always the fsync() on the .swp file too ;)

Well, i never really understood the big difference between the three
models. I used to do deadline on servers, but that turned out to be
REALLY bad (at least on our intranet server). Caused major load on
writes, made NFS b0rk, and when i switched it back to Anticipatory it
was all normal again, so that's what i used afterwards.
Using CFQ gives the same, maybe even worse results.
As does Deadline :S
Strange huh! Only this time the fsync() wasn't on the .swp file but on
the "real" file after writing it's contents...
Kind regards,
Sander.
