[Gumstix-users] fwrite does not fail

[Philip M. <mit...@tr...>]

Another one of those "Why does my C program behave differently in Windows and 
Linux?" questions

I have a program that writes sectors to a drive by using fopen and fwrite.

To check whether my program detects errors I eject the removable media, 
expecting fwrite to return something other than the number of sectors 
written. No such luck. The main console port reports lots of errors such as:

                    end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 13864

but the fwrite routine indicates no problems.

What am I doing wrong?
