Bryan,

<There are a bewildering array of linux filesystem options I could look at tuning further. Can anyone recommend a good combination
(ext3 vs ext4,xfs,btrfs with options writeback-vs-ordered, barriers etc.) for a firebird database. I can afford to lose a few
seconds of data in the event of a hard crash, but the filesystem/database as whole needs to remain consistent.>
