I confirm that this patch is enough to fix my issue. Tested-by: Raphaël Hertzog <hertzog@xxxxxxxxxx> I wonder if we can have a similar problem with a file. Is it possible to fsync a file opened in read-only mode? Even if it's possible, I assume this is really rare. And when you open a file with read-write permissions, when does the copy-up happen? If it's immediately, then fsync on such a file is safe as well.
