Re: [ST-devel] asynchronous fsync()

> Is there any way to make fsync() asynchronous

My first guess would be No, because ST requires non-blocking I/O and
descriptors to disk files can't be made non-blocking.  But I'll talk
with Gene about it.  You mentioned async I/O but that's its own can of
worms.  I've never relied on SIGIO; let me know how it works for you :).

If I were faced with this I would do the typical ST thing and spawn a
persistent helper process.
