Title: Message Title

Rob Browning created an issue   PuppetDB / PDB-2779 stockpile: satisfy ourselves that the durability approach reliable, or adjust it Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: PDB 4.2.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/06/14 12:44 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Rob Browning The current approach assumes that (stockpile/fsync some-file ...) guarantees that all data targeted toward the inode of some-file before the call (ignoring unflushed data in any in-process buffers) will be made durable before the function returns i.e. be pushed all the way to the underlying storage. To some extent this may depend on whether or not FileChannel force() always bottoms out in an fsync or fdatasync on the relevant file descriptor.
