From 762a80d9fc9f690a3a35983f3b4619a220650808 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2011 12:32:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dm snapshot: flush disk cache when merging This patch makes dm-snapshot flush disk cache when writing metadata for merging snapshot. Without cache flushing the disk may reorder metadata write and other data writes and there is a possibility of data corruption in case of power fault.
