[erlang-questions] run_erl and fsync

[dmitry kolesnikov]

Does fsync block any VM scheduler? Or is it executed within async thread?
Or none of them :-)

I do not think that flush log is required for majority of Web systems. I
believe this is a TeleCo legacy... Should it be configurable at least build
time?

Hi all,

In one of my projects I used run_erl to launch Erlang VM in daemon mode,
rotate logs, etc.
But I discovered unexpected performance problem running production
application with run_erl. Application caused high iowait.
After some investigation I found that run_erl does fsync on every log
entry, causing disk IO load. Do we need fsync on every log entry.
Appreciate your valuable comments.

Thanks
Damien
