No problem.
I am working on a new release to fix the outstanding RC bugs, and will
get this fix in as well.
I am going to back out that link-sync patch. It's more trouble than
it's worth.
Cheers!
Jon

I'm having the same issues one of my servers.
Thanks for diagnosing it ! It drove my users crazy.
One comment though. While checking this, I found out that it's not in
the original qmail source, but it comes from one of the applied
patches:
Frank Denis's qmail-link-sync
http://www.thedjbway.org/qmail/patches/qmail-1.03.link-sync.patch
Alternatively, you can just ignore a failure to open. I.e. replace
if ((fd = open(fnnewtph, O_RDONLY)) < 0 ||
fsync(fd) < 0 || close(fd) < 0) goto fail;
by
if ((fd = open(fnnewtph, O_RDONLY)) >= 0)
{
fsync(fd);
close(fd);
}
This works very well, and is much less intrusive than Guenter's
syncdir
patch (which actually fsyncs the directory, as you mentioned).
Jon, could you please include the fix above in future qmail-src
releases ?
Thanks,
Pablo
