Hello, 

I am  new to s3ql and trying to find out if s3ql is the right choice for 
our setup. Currently we use the SWIFT API to store data but would like to 
switch to S3QL because of the client side encryption. 

In our case files are written, read, occasionally removed but written files 
are never modified. 

Writing happen periodically (every few minutes/hours) but the latest 
written data is often read accessed for hours or even days. Does flushing 
happens alway every 10 second even if data is accessed(read)? The 
documentation says: "S3QL flushes changed blocks in the cache to the 
backend whenever a block has *not been accessed* for at least 10 seconds."

Does the phrase *"not been accessed"* apply to writing/modifying or 
reading? Because for me "*accessed*" means read, write or modified.

Or to put it in simpler words, is the data that was written 10 secs ago 
safe, even if it is constantly read accessed?
