Continuous creating/deleting 10 files a second for the purpose of 
communication is simply bad enginnering. Modern SSD drives may be more 
resilient, but people use old ones, some of my systems run on CF cards. 
Definitely not designed for this type of (useless) load.

For ext4 it is 5 secs. You would not want to loose 25 secs of data after 
a power loss. I could not find the figure for NTFS.

But anyway, good to discuss.

Best regards,

Pavel.
