Wow, this jogged a memory from when Brad Fitzpatrick (bradfitz on HN) had to write a utility to ensure the hard drives running LiveJournal didn't lie about successfully completing fsync().[1] IIRC, the behavior caused fairly serious database corruption after a power outage. Went back and found the link. To my surprise, it was 15 years ago. To my greater surprise, the original post, the Slashdot article, and the utility all remain available. And hard drives (or their NVMe successors) still lie. [1] https://brad.livejournal.com/2116715.html |
