Hmm at one point I thought the preferred unit for this sort of tuneable
*was* centisecs. What's the unit du jour?

[root@neon ~]# sysctl -a |grep cent
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 2999
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 499
fs.xfs.age_buffer_centisecs = 1500
fs.xfs.xfsbufd_centisecs = 100
fs.xfs.xfssyncd_centisecs = 3000

I think xfs was following the vm lead at one point.
