That means databases: postgresql, mysql, sapdb, etc. Some of these use fsync()-based synchronisation and won't benefit, but they may have compile-time or runtime options to use O_SYNC instead. Apart from that, just using the kernel in day-to-day activity is the most important thing. If everyone does that, and everyone is happy then by definition this kernel is a wrap. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
