It would be "good enough" for some applications,
but it would be absolutely disastrous for most
applications I run (ie. moving source code around).
Exactly what is wrong with doing fsync() on the
directory ?
Why do you want us to turn link() and rename()
into link_slowly() and rename_slowly() ?
Why can't you use a simple wrapper function to
do this for you ?
