When you edit a file and save, behind the scenes, vim creates a new file and once that operation has completed it replaces the original with the new file. This is safer then doing a truncate and write to the original file as you will lose data if there is a crash after the truncate but before the write. The safer technique requires extra work on vim's part to preserve metadata . For file ACLs vim uses libacl. ___ Dax Kelson Sent with my Treo -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
