Subject: Ordered data mode vs. writeback mode
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:59:30 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20080616225930.01b86a60@pop.west.cox.net> (raw)
Noticed that the newest set of patches in ext4-patch-queue has ordered data
mode as the default mode again. Tune2fs is now able to switch modes again.
What is the preferred mode for a home desktop system with ext4? Is
writeback still the fastest, but ordered data has more data integrity? And
does delalloc only work when writeback is enabled? And does the commit=XX
seconds still only work with writeback mode, ala ext3, or is it a valid
option with ordered data mode?
Trying to get an idea of the plethora of new options available with ext4.
Keep up the good work!
Gary
