Hi,
Can someone please review the following webrev?
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/webrevs/no-sync/01/
It modifies the sanity check (under linux) to use df without --sync when
it computes the free space. This is what is done in the solaris case.
The accuracy gained by using --sync is probably not worth the
performance loss caused by flushing disk buffers.
The patch was originally written by Andrew John Hughes
(ahug...@redhat.com) and we have had this in icedtea6 for almost a year now.
Thanks,
Omair
