How is it different from writes done using
"normal" write() + fdatasync() pairs?
Because you can do writes async, but not fdatasync ( unless there is an
async version I don't know about ).
Ahhh shit, are you saying that fdatasync will wait until writes
*by all other processes* to thios file will hit the disk?
Is that thue?
I think all processes yes, but certainly all writes to this file by this
process. That means you have to sync for every write, which means you
block. Blocking stalls the pipeline.
