If this is the case, does this mean that I am in an either / or situation... as in, it is not possible to have rapid rewrites and rapid reboot simultaneously. Or is sync in cron a reasonable approach?
The best option would be to redesign the code so it doesn't require rapid recreation of a file on disk. For example, modification in-place (perhaps hold the file open and use seek() and fsync()?), named pipes, or even shared memory might be a better approach. If changing the code is not an option, but the file to be rewritten is small and does not need to survive a reboot, you can put it on it's own RAMdisk partition using mount_mfs. If it's large or does need to survive a reboot, you can still put it on a separate partition, and not set softdep on that one partition. Kevin
