https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D230851 --- Comment #6 from Kirk McKusick <mckusick@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Ali Abdallah from comment #5) You are correct that the installed binaries are not being fsync'ed before t= he database is being updated (which being database software DOES properly fsyn= c). I have not looked at pkg, but if it directly does the write itself, it shou= ld do the fsync before it updates the database. It may be that it is running a shell script that uses the install(1) utility, then it is install that shou= ld be doing the fsync. Obviously, more checking needs to be done. Thanks for your help in tracking down these issues. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
