[Jfs-discussion] sync issues

[Adithya V. <adi...@gm...>]

Hello Golks I had this to ask about JFS

1) Is there a reiable version of sync.. since sync does not gurantee that
all the file system buffers are written when it returns.. Tthough fsync does
provide the guarantee, its not possible to get a file descriptor for a very
open file on the system.

2) Also I've observed that in case of logging file system if there are
continuos I/O's to the filesystem then sync hangs.
