Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

This package contains a small LD_PRELOAD library (libeatmydata) and a couple of helper utilities (eatmydata) designed to transparently disable fsync and friends (like open(O_SYNC)). This has two side-effects: making software that writes data safely to disk a lot quicker and making this software no longer crash safe.
