Thanks for updating the FAQ. The XFS FAQ has the best and the only coverage on write caching and write barrier! No mention of it in ext3, Reiser(fs) and JFS FAQs. BTW I can do a review of the complete FAQ. I have written lots of documentation and articles. Contact me when you are interested. But first I continue writing my article ;) Regards, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7
