On fsync(fd), the "fd2" data would still be in user-space. User space buffering happens in stdio, which is above the system call level. It's been that way since fsync() was first introduced, and is still that way today. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
