Description
Hallo,
many people use influx on SBC (RapberryPis or similar).
Those are equipped with SD-Cards, which means permanent writes really kill em over time...
Is there any optimal way to buffer the data in Memory?
In my example I write every second data, but only like ~1KB per second.
I thought about changing the INFLUXDB_DATA_WAL_FSYNC_DELAY env var...
Any other suggestions?
BR;

Research direction
Start by tracing the INFLUXDB_DATA_WAL_FSYNC_DELAY setting through the configuration and documentation, then check how write buffering is described for SD-card-backed deployments. Done means the issue has a documented, actionable recommendation with its durability trade-offs, or a clearly scoped change request.
