Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.22-1
Severity: normal
The munmap call doesn't guarantee that changed pages will be flushed to
disk correctly. Reading the msync man page gives this information. But
a reader of munmap may be unaware of that and get corruption, or
inconsistent nfs files for example (I have hard proof :-).
Please add text to munmap indicating that msync will be needed to address
this.
See also http://nfs.sourceforge.net/#faq_d8
That page tells you to go read munmap(2), but of course the man page
doesn't carry any warning or info.
