That order of magnitude latency difference is striking. It sounds
good, but what does it mean? I see a smaller difference here, maybe
because of running under KVM.
That max_latency thing is flush.
Right, it is just the max run time of all operations, including flush
(dbench's name for fsync I think) which would most probably be the longest
running one. I would like to know how we manage to pull that off. Now
that you mention it, I see a factor of two or so latency win here, not
the order of magnitude that you saw. Maybe KVM introduces some fuzz
for me.
I checked whether fsync = sync is the reason, and no. Well, that goes
on the back burner, we will no doubt figure it out in due course.
