Ts'o: Delayed allocation and the zero-length file problemTs'o: Delayed allocation and the zero-length file problemPosted Mar 20, 2009 14:22 UTC (Fri) by anton (guest, #25547)In reply to: Ts'o: Delayed allocation and the zero-length file problem by sbergman27 Parent article: Ts'o: Delayed allocation and the zero-length file problem
I'm shocked and dismayed that a developer of an ext# filesystem can be so cavalier regarding a data integrity issue. This attitude would *never* have been taken by a dev during this period in ext3's life-cycle.The more recent ext3 developers have a pretty cavalier attitude to data integrity: For some time the data=journal mode (which should provide the highest integrity) was broken. Also, ext3 disables using barriers by default, essentially eliminating all the robustness that adding a journal gives you (and without getting any warning that your file system is corrupted).
