Filesystems are generally updated in a serial fashion: 1. Update MetaData 2. Update FileData 3. Sync... (optional)
Is it possible to instruct the FS to delay metadata update until after a filedata sync? Like: 1. Buffer MetaData 2. Update FileData 3. Sync 4. Update MetaData 5. Sync... (optional) Ext3 offers this as an ordered mode, but could this be done on a lower level as in bdflush? -- Al - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
