- londons_explore 1y agoThat fsync behaviour I think is a good part of the reason that apps seem to run faster/better on osx than windows/Linux. I wish Linux and windows would have settings to change all fsyncs to barriers too. Unfortunately I think Linux recently removed such an ability on the basis the code complexity wasn't worth it.
