Package: thunar
Version: 1.0.1-4
Severity: normal

thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-io-local-xfer.c:334:   close (target_fd);

There is no check for errors, contrary to what is recommended by "man 2
close":

        Not checking the return value of close() is a common but
        nevertheless serious programming error.  It is quite possible
        that errors on a previous write(2) operation are first reported
        at the final close().  Not checking the return value when
        closing the file may lead to silent loss of data.  This can
        especially be observed with NFS and with disk quota.

Actually, the files should be synced to disk before closing them in
order to check for I/O errors:

        A successful close does not guarantee that the data has been
        successfully saved to disk, as the kernel defers writes.  It is
        not common for a file system to flush the buffers when the
        stream is closed.  If you need to be sure that the data is
        physically stored use fsync(2).  (It will depend on the disk
        hardware at this point.)
