Barriers and journaling filesystemsBarriers and journaling filesystemsPosted May 22, 2008 17:20 UTC (Thu) by jordanb (subscriber, #45668)Parent article: Barriers and journaling filesystems
Why not insert a barrier *only* when the commit record is inserted before the journaled data on the disk? I can't imagine that happens too often, so it should cause few barriers will be inserted. It shouldn't have a terrible impact on performance, but it *would* help deal with the edge case of a journal write wrapping on the commit record causing the file system to be inconsistent.
