Re: Question about file system checks

Can you please give more details about your benchmark? It seems to me
that the only thing you are measuring is how many files you managed to
touch between the last sync(2) and plugging the power. This is not an
interesting number.

I'd say it's mildly interesting, for a file server. :)

What would be interesting is to stop the syncer,
touch a known number of files and then pull the plug.

But in the end it boils down to: There is fsync to build transactions -
use it or else. If you find that you lose fsync'ed files, that's a
reason for concern, of course.

You are right, of course. If I get the chance I'll redo the whole
thing with fsync.
