+Hi kernel freaks.
+
+I would appreciate a suggestion how to aproach this problem:
+
+A customer is reporting performance problems which might be
+related to fsync() on big files ...
+ [snip]
+The fsync() seems to takes rather long and other kernel activity
+seems to stall while the fsync() is processed (~3-5 seconds).
+If the fsync() is disabled, this effect is said to disappear.
+This is 2.0.3[56] on an UP box.
+ [snip]
+Any suggestions?
For the 2.0.3x kernel series, there is already a patch at
http://www.linuxmama.com that solves the fsync() on big files.
HTH
Bye
