|
|
+ Modern disk drives support write caches that can speed up writeback.
|
|
+ Some devices, in order to improve their performance statistics,
|
|
+ report that the write has been completed even when it has only
|
|
+ been committed to volatile cache memory. This can result in
|
|
+ severe corruption in the event of power loss.
|
|
+
|
|
+ The -o barrier option enables the file system to direct the block
|
|
+ layer to issue a barrier, which ensures that the cache has been
|
|
+ flushed before proceeding. This can produce some slowdown in
|
|
+ certain environments, but allows higher end storage arrays with
|
|
+ battery-backed caches to report completes writes sooner than
|
|
+ would be otherwise possible.
|
|
+
|
|
+ Without this option, disk write caches should be disabled if
|
|
+ you value data integrity over writeback performance.
|
|
+
|
|
+ If unsure, say N.
