What are those write barrier patches? and where can I find them? I was also hurted by several 'cross linked' files, described in here. is there a way to deactivate write caching for just one filesystem? regards, greg
ps: please somebody let me know where I can find documentation about those chris mason patches, or at least what is dara=ordered or data=journal options. everybody talks about it, nobody explains. or did I miss something? >I'd like to see these patches merged. I hurt myself several times with >reiserfs, when the computer locked up during heavy file system activity, >with NUL blocks in files, files mixed up and the like. I've never seen >this on any data=ordered or data=journal file system, regardless of ext3 >or reiserfs. > >Of course, write caches must be turned of or write barrier patches be >applied to be safe in case of a power blackout. > >-- >Matthias Andree
