From 641089c1549d8d3df0b047b5de7e9a111362cdce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2016 14:42:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: fsync after copy-up Make sure the copied up file hits the disk before renaming to the final destination. If this is not done then the copy-up may corrupt the data in the file in case of a crash.
