Subject: Status of fsync() wrt mail servers
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 00:29:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030910002953.C14172@unbeatenpath.net> (raw)

Hello,
I'm in the process of researching OSes and filesystems for a new mail
system.  I'm hoping to use linux+reiserfs+postfix, and I'm wondering
where reiserfs stands wrt to fsync().  Does reiserfs provide a mechanism
to have truly synchronous writes with a single fsync() call?  Thanks

I've read a very long linux-kernel thread[1] from 2001 where Matthias
Andree was petitioning for changes in the fsync() behavior, and I'm
having trouble following what happened since then.

Thanks
