Suppose there is a virtual machine, with virtual processes inside it. Some virtual process issues a sync write to the virtual OS, meanwhile another virtual process issues an async write. Then the virtual OS will sometimes issue sync writes and sometimes async writes to the host OS. Are you saying this makes qemu, and vbox, and vmware "broken applications?" _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
