Re: XFS: how to NOT null files on fsck?

Hello,

just a small background investigation, I checked joe:

   open("test.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3
   write(3, "test\ntest\n", 10)            = 10
   close(3)                                = 0

... which does not fsync... (it is also not an option in the source)

and vim:

   rename("test.txt", "test.txz~")         = 0
   open("test.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3
   write(3, " test\ntest\n", 11)           = 11
   close(3)                                = 0
   chmod("test.txt", 0100664)              = 0

... does no fsync, eighter.

Bernd
