[erlang-questions] run_erl and fsync

[Damienuk Davis]

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
