One of my module *(C/C++)* is writing to log files and periodically flushes it using *fsync()*. Even for small amount of data, *fsync* is taking more time *(>15 seconds)* than expected.
Is it possible that some other process is applying a file lock to the log file? Any signs of I/O errors? 15 seconds is the sort of delay you might see on a RAID controller with one dead or partially dead disk throwing timeouts...
