Subject: bdflush flushing memory mapped pages.
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 20:20:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <007601c2fecd$12209070$230110ac@kaws> (raw)

help

My application uses SHARED memory mapping files for file I/O, and we have
observed
that Linux does not flush dirty pages to disk until munmap or msync are
called.

I would like to know are there any development plans which would address
this issue or
if there is a version of bdflush which flushes write required pages (dirty
pages) to disk?

Regards
        Keith Ansell.
