Just to add, if one needs to check how effective the sysctl's are, I suggest the following:
watch -n 1 grep -A 1 dirty /proc/vmstat also if one wants to see which blocks are being flushed and by which process one can do: sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump and looking at the output from dmesg will show that the data is being flushed out. There still seems to be a bit of delay in fully flushing blocks out with the suggested sysctl's. I've fiddled with various settings but I could not seem to improve things. -- wubi install unusable - Buffer I/O error on device loop0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
