Subject: courier-imap/maildrop now doing proper fsync'ing
Date: 12 Nov 2002 17:44:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1037148241.25372.14.camel@aramis> (raw)

The newest versions of courier-imap, a maildir POP3/POP3S/IMAP/IMAPS
server, and maildrop, a MDA, now have a compile time configure option:

--with-dirsync

Should it now be safe to run ext3 filesystems (that contain the
maildirs) with data=writeback?

BTW, procmail isn't doing proper fsyncing when writing to a maildir.

Dax
