A write barrier is a kernel mechanism used to ensure that file system metadata is correctly written and ordered on persistent storage, even when storage devices with volatile write caches lose power. File systems with write barriers enabled also ensure that data transmitted via fsync is persistent throughout a power loss.

Enabling write barriers incurs a substantial performance penalty for some applications. Specifically, applications that use fsync heavily or create and delete many small files will likely run much slower.

Importance of Write Barriers. File systems take great care to safely update metadata, ensuring consistency. Journalled file systems bundle metadata updates into transactions and send them to persistent storage in the following manner:. First, the file system sends the body of the transaction to the storage device. To mitigate the risk of data corruption during power loss, some storage devices use battery-backed write caches.

Generally, high-end arrays and some hardware controllers use battery-backed write cached. However, because the cache's volatility is not visible to the kernel, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 enables write barriers by default on all supported journaling file systems.
