My bug report that you reference only mentions Ext4. But when I found the bug in rpm I was using XFS. My main concern at the time was with the way XFS works, but I didn't want people to get too focussed on one filesystem, I was afraid someone would say "just don't use XFS for the root fs then". > In Debian 7 you can add force-unsafe-io to dpkg.cfg to turn off some of > these syncs; using eatmydata (LD_PRELOAD wrapper than noops sync > syscalls) makes it slightly faster still, and works on Debian 6 and > Ubuntu 10.04. > > http://bugs.debian.org/430958 is the bug you're referring to? > http://bugs.debian.org/575891 is mine :-) -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
