Linas. Did you read what I wrote!?
both in the original patch and in my re-post? I quoted both the man
page describing why this is critical, and I described how this bug
actually corrupted my file when my home partition accidentally filled
up. I lost about an hours worth of work, but it could have been much
more serious if automatic backups weren't on.
A sucessful write() ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT imply that the data has been
safely committed to disk. Only close() does that, and only if it
succeeds.
