Re: Linux NFS fsync problems

In news:efd6663a-8305-40ef-a5d5-c12e3c208cc8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
byaarov@xxxxxxxxx <byaarov@xxxxxxxxx> typed:

I have an NFS mount from a linux client to a linux NFS server using a
soft mount.

I have a program that is writing to a file on that share, correctly
checking for return values ....

When I reboot my NFS server, my client application does not see any
error and fsync continues to return success. When the NFS server
comes back up, the writes keep going through, but all the writes that
were issued while the NFS server was down is lost.

Obviously, the program that is "correctly checking for return values" isn't.
