Are there any downsides to using --db-sync-mode fastest with monerod if I have stable power?
11:42:51
intr:unredacted.org:
as far as I'm aware, no

@TheFuzzStone:matrix.org hey, do you mind if I DM you?

@maxlpm:tchncs.de: It already uses fastest i think. That command won't do anything
12:11:52
maxlpm:tchncs.de:
--db-sync-mode arg (=fast:async:250000000bytes)
12:11:56
maxlpm:tchncs.de:
It's using just fast
17:32:33
kevino:tchncs.de:
How does it work ?
17:32:33
kevino:tchncs.de:
It downloads large number of bytes without verifying all of them ?
17:34:52
maxlpm:tchncs.de:
It uses some sort of C++ magic that I'm not advanced enough to decipher

17:35:57
maxlpm:tchncs.de:
It still verifies everything though
17:45:16
selsta:
maxlpm: afaik fastest is only helpful when everything is stored in RAM, like a RAM disk or so
17:45:35
selsta:
if you store things to regular SSD using `fast` is preferred
17:48:07
maxlpm:tchncs.de:
Ah, ok, thank you!

Using fastest may also make the OS load and save data in a different way

- safe = fdatasync/fsync (or equivalent) per stored block. Very slow, but safest option to protect against power-out/crash conditions.
