It fixes your hang (previous email), or the subsequent fsck errors? When filestore flusher = true (default), after every write the fd is handed off to another thread that uses sync_file_range() to push the data out to disk quickly before closing the file. The purpose is to limit the latency for the eventual snapshot or sync. Eric suspected the handoff between threads may be what was triggering the bug in ext4. sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
