http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/rename.2.html I am interested to know what it would take to make linux renames fully atomic. Reading it as is it feels like the action of rename would be the most important piece to making rename atomic. The docs claim this is atomic. What other aspects would be necessary? Maybe the issue is simply that although there "is no point at which another process attempting to access newpath will find it missing", the "another process" doesn't know when the file is fully written to disk? Apologies if this is too off topic or obvious to everybody else. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
