Hi,
You have probably heard about this:
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/11/2031231
Here is the link to the bug report that describes the cause of the
problem:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317781/comments/54
A key part of the bug report comment...
Applications are expected to use fsync() or fdatasync(), and if that
impacts their performance too much, to use a single berkdb or other
binary database file, and not do something stupid with hundreds of tiny
text files that only hold a few bytes of data in each text file.
Hmmm... something sound familiar there?
So what should we do? Maybe, add some sort of syncing after a db write.
But then after each file or just at the end of the transaction?
Allan
