From 1b33809ea8c671ccbceeaaa8d842631b441bed54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 10:29:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nfs: commit layouts in fdatasync "fdatasync() is similar to fsync(), but does not flush modified metadata unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled." We absolutely need to commit the layouts to be able to retrieve the data in case either the client, the server or the storage subsystem go down.
