2) Is anyone using CouchDB in a manner that really requires this level of data security? I appreciate having the *option* to turn on a mode like this, but I don't think I need it all the time. I can use RAID systems that give me battery-backed cache, or I can make the design decision that I am happy to lose X seconds of data in a tradeoff (e.g. do the deep fnctl() every X seconds.....)
Everybody. CouchDB doesn't have an `off`-switch. You just terminate the Erlang VM. Without this design, this wouldn't be possible. There has been no discussion about optionally making different trade-offs for speed and against data integrity, but this is not off-the-map. Cheers Jan --
