I prefer to ensure that the page cache flusher runs often and flushes unwritten blocks very often, ensuring a steady stream of writes to disk. The same for RAID HAs, and so on. Ensuring that updated data does get to persistent storage is often difficult, as various layers of storage (including drive firmware sometimes) cheat to look better in benchmarks. > but with a small number of files on it even and only 5 TiB > used.
