Package: thunar
Version: 1.0.1-4
Severity: normal
thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-io-local-xfer.c:334: close (target_fd);
There is no check for errors, contrary to what is recommended by "man 2
close":
Not checking the return value of close() is a common but
nevertheless serious programming error. It is quite possible
that errors on a previous write(2) operation are first reported
at the final close(). Not checking the return value when
closing the file may lead to silent loss of data. This can
especially be observed with NFS and with disk quota.
Actually, the files should be synced to disk before closing them in
order to check for I/O errors:
A successful close does not guarantee that the data has been
successfully saved to disk, as the kernel defers writes. It is
not common for a file system to flush the buffers when the
stream is closed. If you need to be sure that the data is
physically stored use fsync(2). (It will depend on the disk
hardware at this point.)
