Both are problems.
In one case you care about consistency: how can you guarantee a transaction fully succeeded vs only partially succeeded if the drive tells you the data was written, even though it wasn't?
In the other case, e.g. writing a log file or saving your word processing document, you want to ensure as much data is written as possible, even if out of order, so you can recover at least some of your work in the event of a failure.
- masklinn 5y ago> Both are problems. One is what the discussion is about and the other is a completely different discussion nobody is actually having. And I don’t think many people actually care about what happens when you just yolo your writes, it’s not like it’s going to be anything you can usefully rely on.
