Subject: drive/block device write scheduling, buffer flushing?
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 11:52:25 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8FED3D71D1D2D411992A009027711D67187E@md> (raw)

I was wondering if there is a way to make the kernel write to disk faster. 
I need to maintain a 10 MB /sec write rate to a 10K scsi disk in a computer,
but it caches and doesn't start writing to disk until I hit about 700 MB. At
that point, it pauses(presumably while the kernel is flushing some of the
buffers) and I will have missed data that I am trying to capture.

Any ideas?

Nathan
