Package: manpages-dev Version: 2.22-1 Severity: normal The munmap call doesn't guarantee that changed pages will be flushed to disk correctly. Reading the msync man page gives this information. But a reader of munmap may be unaware of that and get corruption, or inconsistent nfs files for example (I have hard proof :-).
Please add text to munmap indicating that msync will be needed to address this. See also http://nfs.sourceforge.net/#faq_d8 That page tells you to go read munmap(2), but of course the man page doesn't carry any warning or info. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'experimental'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-5-dc4eb Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages manpages-dev depends on: ii manpages 2.22-1 Manual pages about using a GNU/Lin manpages-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
