#559 closed enhancement (fixed)

Description

The XML configuration can get corrupted due to a system crash. Is it worth to pass the O_SYNC flag (or maybe O_DSYNC)?

The attached patch - very simple! - adds the O_SYNC flag to the open(2) call in xml_save(), in storage_xml.c.

Actually, it might be better to call fsync(2) just before close(2) instead of passing O_SYNC to open(2).
