Hopefully there’s an fsync as well.
- sgt 4y agoLife is too short to wait for a fsync.
- somat 4y agoThere are some environments where making sure your transaction is secure on non volatile storage is critically important. And then there is storing comments on a news aggregation site. Hell, this is one environment where I bet you could get away with a full async mount.
- koolba 4y agoSure, but the default should be erring on the side of persistence and consistency. The throughput for a site like HN of actual writes is next to nil. It’s short text only comments averaging a couple hundred bytes and you only have to pay for the fsync once anyway. If you have to turn off fsync to make it perform then you’re doing something horribly wrong.
