New generation hard drives, SSDs and NVM devices support 4K
sector size. Supported sector size can be found using fstatvfs()
or GetDiskFreeSpace() functions.
Analysis: InnoDB writes also files that do not contain FIL-header.
This could lead incorrect analysis on os_fil_read_func function
when it tries to see is page page compressed based on FIL_PAGE_TYPE
field on FIL-header. With bad luck uncompressed page that does
not contain FIL-headed, the byte on FIL_PAGE_TYPE position could
indicate that page is page comrpessed.
Fix: Upper layer must indicate is file space page compressed
or not. If this is not yet known, we need to read the FIL-header
and find it out. Files that we know that are not page compressed
we can always just provide FALSE.
SYNTAX: ATOMIC_WRITES=['DEFAULT','ON','OFF']
Idea here is to be able to define innodb_doublewrite = 1 but with following rules:
ATOMIC_WRITES='DEFAULT' - if innodb_use_atomic_writes = 1, we do not write to doublewrite buffer the changes
if innodb_use_atomic_writes = 0, we write to doublewrite buffer
ATOMIC_WRITES='ON' - do not write to doublewrite buffer
ATOMIC_WRITES='OFF' - write to doublewrite buffer
Note that doublewrite buffer can't be used if innodb_doublewrite = 0.
