Only over Linux. I'd rather use Solaris for real stuff. ;-) ZFS seems to
manage to flush drive caches too. The whole state of affairs as far as
what fsync should actually persist before it returns is very sad.
Agreed.
IIRC zfs doesn't flush the cache, it sets the writethrough/writeback
mode at boot/disk insertion time and then manages its own write cache
well well enough to get fast fsync() without relying on the disk's cache.
Note sure why I seem to have warning-as-error set for jam, which I just
installed.
That's set in our Jamfiles somewhere.
That's concerning - why doesn't 3.1.3 build for me then? Do you want the
error list?
Certainly.
