innodb_flush_method

Description: XtraDB/InnoDB flushing method. Windows always uses async_unbuffered and this variable then has no effect. On Unix, by default fsync() is used to flush data and logs. Adjusting this variable can give performance improvements, but behavior differs widely on different filesystems, and changing from the default has caused problems in some situations, so test and benchmark carefully before adjusting.

O_DSYNC - O_DSYNC is used to open and flush logs, and fsync() to flush the data files.

O_DIRECT - O_DIRECT or directio(), is used to open data files, and fsync() to flush data and logs.

fdatasync - an old default value that follows the default behavior of using fsync(), but replaced with the unset default to avoid confusion between fdatasync() and fysnc().

O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC - introduced in MariaDB 10.0 / MySQL 5.6.7. Uses O_DIRECT during flushing I/O, but skips fsync() afterwards. Not suitable for XFS filesystems.

Commandline: --innodb-flush-method=name

Scope: Global

Dynamic: No

Data Type: enumeration

Default Value: Not set.

Valid Values: fdatasync, O_DSYNC, O_DIRECT, O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC (MariaDB 10.0)
