Results from the tests against git rev.
http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=62668eb
Test cases: crash after install/upgrade/removal/purge of a package.
The status file is not synced, the previous version is kept and the
directory /var/lib/dpkg/ contains the file status-new.
This is due to a missing fsync on the directory.
This is a minor annoyance, since running 'dpkg --configure -a' fix it.
On the performance side, the installation of a package is a factor 2
slower (1.8 to 2.2 depending on the number of files) than without the
fsyncs.
Test done with packages from 200 files up to 8200 files with an ATA Disk
@5400rpm
Thanks for your work, guillem.
