Hi, Since the introduction of ext4, some apps/users have had issues with file corruption after a system crash. It's not a bug in the FS AFAIK and it's not exclusive to ext4. Writing a temp file, fsync, rename is often proposed. However, the durable aspect of fsync isn't always required and this way has other issues. What is the recommended way for atomic non-durable (complete) file writes? I'm also wondering why FSs commit after open/truncate but before write/close. AFAIK this isn't necessary and thus suboptimal.
