Bug ID: 236473
Summary: [FUSE] fsync never syncs metadata on fuse(4)
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: asom...@freebsd.org
The FUSE_FSYNC operations has a flags parameter. If bit 0 is set, then the
filesystem should do an "fdatasync" instead of "fsync". Oddly, FreeBSD's
fuse(4) driver _always_ sets that bit. I suspect that the original GSoC
student didn't understand what it meant. The consequence is that an fsync(2)
will not safely sync a file's metadata to disk, if that file is on fuse.
