[rdiff-backup-users] [REPOST, sort of] Can't use check-destination-dir with a destination that doesn't support fsync()'ing directories

[Charles Duffy]

Please pardon the repost, but I haven't seen any replies in the last 
five days on the relevant thread ("--check-destination-dir failage w/ 
1.0.4: Not running destination ability test?")

I'm not opposed to writing a patch for this issue myself, if some 
guidance as to how it would be appropriately implemented were to be 
provided. However, that guidance would indeed be appreciated.


I'm guessing that I'd want to call single_set_fs_globals() by way of 
require_root_set() from CheckDest(), and then wrap the fsync call at the 
end of regress.restore_orig_regfile() inside an if statement evaluating 
Globals.fsync_directories. Is this accurate?
