Also, now glibc has fixed addmntent() to do fflush() with: http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=e1fb097f44 Might be just sufficient to do a ftruncate() when addmntent() fails? > + if (rc != 0) { > + fprintf(stderr, "unable to fstat open mtab\n"); > + endmntent(pmntfile); > + unlock_mtab(); > + rc = EX_FILEIO; > + goto add_mtab_exit; > + } > + > mountent.mnt_fsname = devname; > mountent.mnt_dir = mountpoint; > mountent.mnt_type = (char *)(void *)fstype; > @@ -1516,7 +1534,11 @@ add_mtab(char *devname, char *mountpoint, unsigned long flags, const char *fstyp > fprintf(stderr, "unable to add mount entry to mtab\n"); > rc = EX_FILEIO; > } > - endmntent(pmntfile); > + tmprc = my_endmntent(pmntfile, statbuf.st_size); > + if (tmprc) { > + fprintf(stderr, "error %d detected on close of mtab\n", tmprc); > + rc = EX_FILEIO; > + } > unlock_mtab(); > SAFE_FREE(mountent.mnt_opts); > add_mtab_exit: > diff --git a/mount.h b/mount.h > index d49c2ea..80bdbe7 100644 > --- a/mount.h > +++ b/mount.h > @@ -35,5 +35,6 @@ > extern int mtab_unusable(void); > extern int lock_mtab(void); > extern void unlock_mtab(void); > +extern int my_endmntent(FILE *stream, off_t size); > > #endif /* ! _MOUNT_H_ */ > diff --git a/mtab.c b/mtab.c > index 9cd50d8..de545b7 100644 > --- a/mtab.c > +++ b/mtab.c > @@ -251,3 +251,30 @@ lock_mtab (void) { > return 0; > } > > +/* > + * Call fflush and fsync on the mtab, and then endmntent.
