Description

A library and utilities that deliberately disable fsync and related calls to speed up selected workloads.

Use it only for disposable or test data where durability is not important. It can make programs report success before data is safely written, so crashes or power loss may corrupt or lose data.

How to run

Commands: eatmydata
