I'm wondering if anyone out there may have some suggestions on how
to improve the performance of a system employing fsync(). I have to be able
to guaranty that every write to my fileserver is on disk when the client has
passed it to the server. Therefore, I have disabled write cache on
Agreed, it would be better to sync to disk after multiple files
rather than serially; however, in the interest of not being concerned of a
power outage during the process, one of the reason the disk cache is
disabled, the choice was to fsync() each write.

Thanks. I'll start putting this one into test.

On Tue,
I'll add the write caching into the test just for info. Until there
is a way to guaranty the data is safe I'll have to go with no write caching
though. I should have all this testing done by the end of the week.

Oleg, does this include the speedup series both you and Chris have
been working on?

Hello fellow ReiserFS fans. I'm in search of a data shredder for use
on reiserfs and am wondering if anyone knows of one. It would need to
effectively remove any trace both in the journal and on the disk itself any
and all data pertaining to a file. I'm not sure, but I thought at one time
Vitaly, how does check-followed-by-fixable in 3.6.3 compare to
-a at boot in 3.6.5?

Wayne.
