Hi, I have recently completed SSHD-904 and SSHD-905 that provide the option to make sure that transferred data is synchronized with the local file system (a.k.a. 'fsync'). This makes sure that if another process accesses the updated files shortly after having been copied/updated either through SFTP or SCP then the data is up-to-date.
My question is this: The initial implementation activates by default this behavior (where the user can easily re-configure it as disabled) - however, I am having second thoughts whether it should be the default. Perhaps it would be better to have the default=false (i.e., no 'fsync') and thus preserve backward compatibility with version 2.2.0 behavior. On the other hand, it may be the case that users are unknowingly experiencing 'fsync' related issues that often manifest themselves as "corrupted" files when processes other than the one doing the SCP/SFTP attempt to access a file too soon after it has been updated. I would welcome your feedback on what you think the default behavior should be. Thanks.
