nspawn blocks sync_file_range on arm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ARM has two sync_file_range syscalls, sync_file_range and sync_file_range2. The former is apparently not used, and glibc calls the latter whenever a userspace program calls sync_file_range. I'm guessing systemd-nspawn doesn't know this, because the follow code consistently fails in an nspawn container on ARM:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

void main()
{
        int f = open("/tmp/syncrange.test",O_CREAT|O_RDWR,0666);
        int r=sync_file_range(f, 0, 0, 0);
        if (r)
                perror("sync_file_range");
        close(f);
}

This seems to be causing problems specifically for borg(backup) and postgres:

I will test the obvious fix when I can, unless someone beats me to it :)
