In theory: - every call to OS.File queued *before* xpcom-shutdown will be completed; - every call to OS.File queued after xpcom-sthudown will throw an asynchronous exception (once bug 845190 has landed). Note, however, that this has not been thoroughly tested yet. > Another question: are the write tasks queued and completed in order, or can > two writeAtomic calls to the same file race each other and the 2nd call > finish first (only to have the 1st call finish and write older data) All tasks to OS.File are queued and completed in order.
