Why on earth would you choose the only filesystem with a broken fsync() for your database partition?

MySQL handles typical web load better than both Oracle and PostgreSQL. 99% reads and not to complicated queries and a lax attitude towards MVCC (with the query cache enabled) makes MySQL run really fast.

To be a 100% sure you see everything on an old SCSI bus you reset the bus and wait 15 seconds to let the devices settle before scanning the bus. Most devices settle within a couple of seconds but some odd tape drives (or robots, I can't remember) took ages to settle after a reset.

I guess modern hardware is not that different although the 15 seconds timeout are gone.

From Debian, if you stick with the official repositories (which is possible since they are very thorough and extensive), you are pretty much guaranteed that all your packages have passed through a standardized system where they are checked for problems, inter-dependencies, and are all compiled with the same methodology.

Where is this process described?

The reason I ask is because I've never seen one single release of Debian where the clvm package actually works. (I don't know what the current state is - I haven't used Debian for Ubuntu a couple of years).
