Updates: Cc: a...@chromium.org Comment #5 on issue 8516 by e...@chromium.org: Follow Ted Ts'o's advice on writing important files (prefs, etc.) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8516
I spoke with my file system kernel developer friend last night. They, like agl, recommend that we do *not* fsync, and instead do the write(other_file) + rename(other_file, real_target_file) pattern. All kernels and file systems will be fixed for that behavior to be correct. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
