This guy is having a problem with cyrus-imap and ext3 - when multiple

writing. An strace shows most of the time is being spent in fdatasync
and fsync.


Actually, the thread just got off topic quickly -- I'm running this on reiserfs,
not ext3.  ...And I've got it mounted with data=writeback, too.  But thanks for
the info, Andrew.

I'll bet that the fakesync preload library will make diference for you.
