Subject: Re: synchronous mounts

Message-ID: <3BF51696.1DC5D3CC@mandrakesoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3BF376EC.EA9B03C8@zip.com.au> <20011115214525.C14221@redhat.com> <3BF45B9F.DEE1076B@mandrakesoft.com> <20011116122855.C2389@redhat.com>

May I suggest another way of thinking about this issue.  ext3 allows one
to journal everything, or just metadata.  Why -avoid- this distrinction
when it comes to the 'sync' mount option (and 'dirsync' or 'metasync')?
