Not at all surprising. Forcing a 'sync every write' has been painful for pretty much everything - first time I saw it was on a SunOS 3.2 box doing NFS over 3 decades ago. > I've got an RFE open with IBM > (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=84994) > to see if the behavior of GPFS could be changed such that it would issue > explicit cache flushes that would allow it to work with ZFS (it might > even be beneficial in FPO environments too). Do you have a suggestion for how to do this without it turning into 'sync=always' just done at a different layer in the stack?
