<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hello. <br><br>I just wanted to have more information about the delaylog feature. <br>From what I understood it seems to be a common feature from different FS. It's supposed to retain information such as metadata for a time ( how much ?). Unfortunately, I could not find further information about journaling log section in the XFS official documentation. <br>I just figured out that delaylog feature is now included and there is no way to disable it (http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/xfs.txt?id=HEAD). <br><br>Whatever the information it could be, I understood that this is a temporary memory located in RAM. <br>Recently, I had a crash on a server and I had to execute the repair procedure which worked fine. <br><br>But I would like to disable this feature to prevent any temporary data not to be written do disk. (Write cache is already disabled on both hard drive and raid controller). <br><br>Perhaps it's a bad idea disabling it. If so, I would like to have your opinion about where memory corruption could happen. <br><br>Any help would be much appreciated. <br>Thank you. <br><br> </div></body>
