Your comment do not make sense to me. I fail to understand how those caring about the integrity of their system during the dpkg run would use --force-unsafe-io. At least I only use it if I care about speed, and would be happy to start again if something went wrong half-way through the installation. When I use it, I do not care about the integrity, and neither do those building live CDs. :) Anyway, hopefully someone some time in the future will come up with a usecase that could make me understand when it is useful to not fsync the package files and only fsync the dpkg database. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
