FLASH drives do need a scheduler policyFLASH drives do need a scheduler policyPosted Oct 3, 2004 9:48 UTC (Sun) by axboe (subscriber, #904)In reply to: FLASH drives do need a scheduler policy by BrucePerens Parent article: Modular, switchable I/O schedulers
Bruce,
We already have write barriers, and it doesn't solve the entire problem. It will make any given fs more flash friendly indeed, but it's still quite a bit away from a fs specifically designed to minimize drive wear.
Your last sentence doesn't make sense.

I think one of the BSDs goes a bit further than write barriers in communicating time information. But I see your point that this can not go all of the way in reducing FLASH wear. Thanks Bruce
