Subject: async commit & write barrier code
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:20:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48D7D3DF.70505@redhat.com> (raw)


After today's call, I was poking around a bit to try and understand 
better how the async commit code plays with the write barrier.

journal_submit_commit_record seems to disable the barriers when async IO 
is enabled if I read the code correctly. If this is true, how can we 
provide any promises of on disk data integrity after an fsync()?

Regards,

Ric
