| |
Hi,
Could someone enlighten me whether fdatasync() system call on Linux, when called on the fd of an open()-ed block device, will result in the committing of all dirty device buffers to disk?
If not, how do I achieve this? Should I use the BLKFLSBUF ioctl?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Anton
