What about for fsync(2)? One of the most frequent sources of data loss on the postgres mailing list has to do with users with IDE drives where fsync returns even though the data hasn't actually reached the disk. A power outage can cause lost data or a corrupted database. Is there any progress getting fsync to use this new infrastructure so it can actually satisfy its contract? -- greg - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
