From 204975036b34f55237bc44c8a302a88468ef21b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2021 16:38:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Ensure the server has an up to date ctime before hardlinking Creating a hard link is required by POSIX to update the file ctime, so ensure that the file data is synced to disk so that we don't clobber the updated ctime by writing back after creating the hard link.
