This about settles the question for me. Assuming that the implication that btrfs performs otherwise holds true.
- midas007 13y agoYeah, it depends on the use case. For home directories and large risk items like financial stuff, testing that barrier writes are happening is a good thing. You don't want a storm to knock out a DC to learn that the hw/sw fs stack was lying to you at some level.
- tacticus 13y agoBarriers are also used in btrfs. and from what i can tell clone operations are also handled atomically though i kinda wonder what exactly is meant by atomic writes.
- rch 13y agoThanks for clearing that up. I might have to dig into it a bit more.
