Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: David Watson (baikie) Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: mailbox: use fsync() to ensure data is really on disk Initial Comment: The mailbox module currently does nothing to ensure messages/indexes are physically on disk when the flush() method returns or message files are closed. This patch adds functions _sync_flush and _sync_close to flush and fsync() a file object, and in the latter case close it afterwards. _sync_close is then used where needed throughout the code. (For various reasons the current implementation only ever requires a sync immediately before closing a file, but _sync_flush is provided for future use.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.

Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2006-11-09 08:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 I've tweaked the top comment in the patch a little and applied it to the trunk in rev. 52692 (so it'll be in 2.6). Because it's an internal API change, I'm cautious about applying it to the 25-maint branch, but will raise the issue on python-dev. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1514544&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
