--- Comment #10 from Tijl Coosemans <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Konstantin Belousov from comment #9) That makes Firefox usable again, thanks. There's still some disk I/O that seems too much to be just metadata, but I could be wrong about that. If I add a call to fsync before close in the test program above there's still a lot of disk I/O that is fixed by the patch below but it made no difference on Firefox. The only other thing I can think of is that write(2) on an unlinked file still goes straight to the file system, but a patch for that wasn't immediately obvious to me. I've added the backtrace below.
