Could anyone consider fork a syncer process to sync data to disk ?
build a shared sync queue, when a daemon process want to do sync after
write() is called, just put a sync request to the queue. this can release
process from blocked on writing as soon as possible. multipile sync
request for one file can be merged when the request is been inserting to
the queue.
