Re: [firebird-support] Doubts about Firebird in Linux....
Hi András, if your file system has barrier enabled ( ext4 by default has it ), ant you set forced writes ON, then massive updates will be very slow. You should decide between setting FW On or using a file system with barrier activated. There has been a thread in this forum about this point some time ago.

RE: [firebird-support] Doubts about Firebird in Linux....
Hi Aldo, is not ext4 too slow? What mount switches do you use? We had to switch back to ext3, because ext4 was too slow (barrier switch and db forced write were on).
