I've created a slightly-modified version of marmuta's patch which changes the default synchronization mode to 0 (no sync), rather than preserving the existing default (2, full sync). Either patch will allow you to use an environment variable to set a specific synchronization mode, but by changing the default, this patch gives you the fast performance (and poor robustness!) of nosync without having to set any environment variables.
If that's what you want, use this patch instead. ** Attachment added: "nosync_default.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28580948/nosync_default.patch -- Liferea stalling, uses excessive number of fsyncs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
