I'm writing a node.js server that uses the cluster module. Each worker
does *lots* of logging to a shared log file (it must be just 1 file).

- Assuming log lines are smaller than PIPE_BUF (4k), is it safe to do
fs.write() and rely on it being atomic, or does Node.js break this
promise of write()?

- What's with "Note that it is unsafe to use fs.write multiple times
on the same file without waiting for the callback."?

- If writes are not atomic or not waiting for callbacks really is a
problem, what's an *efficient* alternative?

Thanks,
 Jaka
