Subject: Is this proper fsync'ing ?
Date: 12 Nov 2002 17:55:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1037148955.25373.28.camel@aramis> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1037148241.25372.14.camel@aramis>

Here is some strace output from email delivery via maildrop compiled
with --with-dirsync:

open("./Maildir/tmp/1037107256.1332_0.mail,S=673", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0666) = 3
write(3, "message contents goes here"..., 673) = 673
fsync(3)                          = 0
close(3)                          = 0
link("./Maildir/tmp/1037107256.1332_0.mail,S=673", "./Maildir/new/1037107256.1332_0.mail,S=673") = 0
open("./Maildir/new", O_RDONLY)   = 3
fsync(3)                          = 0
close(3)                          = 0
unlink("./Maildir/tmp/1037107256.1332_0.mail,S=673") = 0
[snip some non-relevant stuff]
exit(0)

Does this look correct/safe? Filesystem is ext3 data=writeback.
