I'm with you for a lot of this, but I have to say that I don't think "atomic transactions" are a feature of general purpose filesystems. If I store my configuration data with one-value-per-file, how do I atomically update multiple values? How do I have a transaction that rolls back changes if changing value #9 of 10 fails? -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
