https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D236473 Bug ID: 236473 Summary: [FUSE] fsync never syncs metadata on fuse(4) Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: asomers@FreeBSD.org The FUSE_FSYNC operations has a flags parameter. If bit 0 is set, then the filesystem should do an "fdatasync" instead of "fsync". Oddly, FreeBSD's fuse(4) driver _always_ sets that bit. I suspect that the original GSoC student didn't understand what it meant. The consequence is that an fsync(= 2) will not safely sync a file's metadata to disk, if that file is on fuse. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
