Hi Onkar, This seems to be in conjunction with the field i_sync_tid in the inode structure. They are used to store the transaction id of the journal. Depending on what system call you use fsync() or fdatasync() to flush the contents of your file, it will use i_sync_tid or i_datasync_tid and will commit the appropriate transaction to disk. Hope that helps... -- Thanks - Manish ================================== [$\*.^ -- I miss being one of them ================================== -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
