Qt 4.8 on Linux TinyCore or Fedora. I have a function to back up some files to a usb stick. I've had complaints from users that the files are sometime not copied. It looks like they're removing the usb stick before the standard sync cycle. If I call sync from my copy routine this works but it hangs the system waiting for sync to complete.
If I mount the usb stick with -o sync, this also solves my problem but it also hangs the system. I have tried to use fsync on a per file basis but this doesn't solve my problem. I have a watchdog to maintain so I would need to use qApp->processEvents() periodically in busy loops. Does fsync not force the write to disk? Is there a way to sync only a particular folder? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
