[PATCH 1/4] Introduce virFileSync

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It still needs to be enhanced to be fully portable and working even if
fsync() implementation is insane (e.g., on OSX).
---
Notes:
    Although ideally gnulib would provide us with a sane fsync() and
    fdatasync() replacements (it already does so for fsync on Win32)
    so this could probably be dropped in favor of a possible future
    extension of gnulib (we do not provide any better solution anyway).
