[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60122] Save and Run in editor does not always save

[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

Follow-up Comment #33, bug #60122 (project octave):

Reading "man fsync":
<<<
fdatasync()  is similar to fsync(), but does not flush modified metadata
unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a subsequent data re‐
       trieval to be correctly handled.  For example, changes to st_atime or
st_mtime (respectively, time of last access and time  of  last  modifica‐
       tion;  see  inode(7))  do not require flushing because they are not
necessary for a subsequent data read to be handled correctly.  On the other
       hand, a change to the file size (st_size, as made by say ftruncate(2)),
would require a metadata flush.

Dmitri.
