I'm not familiar enough with all the new writeback code; does this mean that a sync will return as soon as any new IO is queued post-sync? That seems odd if so - but maybe I misunderstand. Thanks, -Eric --- Comment #30 from Eric Sandeen 2010-04-06 23:05:57 --- Hm maybe I spoke too soon, had a couple runs on ext3 that looked good but now it's been syncing for many minutes ... (this is the test where I create 4G files in a loop, let it go for a while, then time sync - on a 16g box) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
