This has two side-effects: making software that writes data safely to disk a lot quicker and making this software no longer crash safe. . You will find eatmydata useful if particular software calls fsync(), sync() etc. frequently but the data it stores is not that valuable to you and you may afford losing it in case of system crash. Data-to-disk synchronization calls are typically very slow on modern file systems and their extensive usage might slow down software significantly. It does not make sense to accept such a hit in performance if data being manipulated is not very important. . On the other hand, do not use eatmydata when you care about what software stores or it manipulates important components of your system. The library is called libEAT-MY-DATA for a reason. Description-da: Bibliotek og redskaber designet til at deaktivere fsync og friends Denne pakke indeholder et lille LD_PRELOAD-bibliotek (libeatmydata) og et par hjælperedskaber designet til gennemsigtigt at deaktivere fsync og friends (såsom open(O_SYNC)). Dette har to sideeffekter: laver programmer som skriver data sikkert til disk meget hurtigere og gør at disse programmer ikke længere er nedbrudssikre. . Du vil opleve at eatmydata er brugbar hvis programmer ofte kalder fsync(), sync() etc. og at de data som programmerne gemmer ikke har værdi for dig og du kan tåle at miste dem i tilfælde af et systemnedbrud. Data-til-disk synkroniseringskald kan gøre programmer markant langsommere. Det giver ikke mening at acceptere sådan en belastning af ydelsen, hvis de data som bliver manipuleret ikke er vigtige. . På den anden side, så brug ikke eatmydata hvis du er forsigtig omkring hvad programmer gemmer eller eatmydata manipulerer vigtige komponenter i dit system. Der er en grund til, at biblioteket kaldes libEAT-MY-DATA. # other Descriptions of the eatmydata package with a translation in da: # # Description-id: 75520 https://ddtp.debian.org/ddt.cgi?desc_id=75520 # patch https://ddtp.debian.org/ddt.cgi?diff1=75520&diff2=226706&language=da # This Description was in jessie from 2013-08-08 to 2014-10-26; # This Description was in wheezy from 2011-02-12 to 2016-06-07; # This Description was in sid from 2010-08-09 to 2014-10-18; #
