Comment 26 for bug 221009

Same here. Fsyncs are still issued upon browsing. Using version 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 :

motin@motin-laptop:~$ strace -p `pidof firefox` -e fsync -tT
Process 11272 attached - interrupt to quit
00:06:20 fsync(38) = 0 <0.013767>

The last 6 fsyncs were issued after visiting a single page.

What is needed for this bug report to go from "Incomplete" to "Confirmed" and when is it likely that we will see "Fix Released"?

Is there any work around available until an official fix is avaiable?
