The IO done by applications like web browsers and Spotify may be synchronous from their perspective (i.e. write(2) syscalls instead of aio), but those applications definitely don't need the sort of hard ACID transactional guarantees that require all disk caches to be disabled and every single write command sent to the drive to be a barrier. The fact that they're running atop journaling filesystems is good enough. |
