    @mvillar I have read answer of the question you mentioned. It doesn't answer my needs. It is telling about the largest atomic write at the block level.

  • @kasperd, I have few more doubts about nginx access logs like what if I have different access logs, is this buffer size individual for each access log or shared? I can't find any good documentation regarding this issue.

    – g13

  • @g13 That is a different question altogether. The question about what sizes of writes are guaranteed to be atomic is a question about kernel and file system, in reallity it is completely unrelated to nginx. Your second question sounds like it is actually about nginx, and that I don't know anything about. Be aware that if you ask a question about where to find documentation, it is likely to be closed as off-topic. But if you mention which documentation you read and what questions you are left with after reading the documentation, then you have a much better chance at getting an answer.

I was trying to find out size of an atomic write in Linux myself and the most helpful reading was from this Unix Stack Exchange answer



But in summary



This is from man 7 pipe.




POSIX.1-2001 says that write(2)s of less than PIPE_BUF bytes must be
atomic: the output data is written to the pipe as a contiguous
sequence. Writes of more than PIPE_BUF bytes may be nonatomic: the
kernel may interleave the data with data written by other processes.
POSIX.1-2001 requires PIPE_BUF to be at least 512 bytes. (On Linux,
PIPE_BUF is 4096 bytes.)




So in Linux the size of an atomic write is 4096 bytes.



You can find a nice table of the PIPE_BUF size for different OS'es here
http://ar.to/notes/posix#pipe-buf.
