I wrote something similar, but with one change -- it turns out you must have write access to the file you want to fsync (or fdatasync).
It seems to work, but I have not had time to do a power loss simulation. Would be useful performance-wise on any system but ext3 (where calling this is identical in outcome to doing a full sync). -- Ext4 data loss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
