It is my (perhaps faulty) understanding that most editors omit the fsync() and that the file will only be on your memory stick when you unmount it in the typical case.
open("test", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 4 write(4, "test\n\n", 6) = 6 fsync(4) = 0 stat("test", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=6, ...}) = 0 close(4) I've just run strace on vim and it calls fsync. If most editors omit the fsync() as you claim then please run strace and find us an example of one - and file a bug report while you are at it. ;) -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
