Source: debian-installer Severity: wishlist It would be nice if all of dpkg's safe I/O code invoking fsync and friends would be disabled during installation. From what I remember, dpkg's --force-unsafe-io disables only some of them.
I think it would be possible to either use the eatmydata wrapper or convince the dpkg maintainers to introduce a --force-really-unsafe-io option that disables all fsync calls. (The additional option in dpkg is probably the cleaner solution.) Ansgar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
