The "Safer" option causes lot of fsync() calls to make sure everything in filesystem cache is really written to storage as soon as possible. This can cause performance degradation (disk thrashing) on some setups, as compared to "Faster" option, which is arguably less safe, but leaves the filesystem synchronization to underlying OS. Usefulness of manual fsync() calls has been a hotly debated topic few years back, therefore this config option has been implemented, so user can decide for themselves. this is a bug tracker, use the mailing list for questions ok, means that the options are correct once again I now was bitten another translation error (pt_BR) the pt_BR is "immediate write to disk" instead of "direct write to disk", what then rises the questions I made thanks for clarification |
