Most editors follow the safe update practice: write file to new_name fsync(new_name); rename(new_name, orig_name); The fsync will not return until the contents are on the disk and the rename= is atomic, so it will either point at the orig_name file contents or the new_n= ame file contents which because of the fsync will be on the disk. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
