It's a generic Linux problem, not an ext3-specific issue. Until recently, the Linux block layer had no concept of a sync operation. Linux basically assumed that all writes were synchronous and ordered, which they are not if your hardware has (non-transparent) write caches. It did not disable write caching by default, either. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
