Synchronising cache and file
I am reading and caching some of the blocks of a large data file into program
virtual memory, for processing. My question is how do I synchronise this
cache with the file, for instance, if a block in the cache is updated or written to,
that block has to be updated in the underlying file. If this process is delayed
or only partly completed, will not the file be inconsistent. This can happen
if there is a power failure. How is this problem handled by DBMS programs ?
I am programming in C. Any answers and references to good books or readily available reading material on this subject will be gratefully appreciated.

Another nagios problem:
I have this file:

As you can see with rights at 640, nagios cannot read the file for configuration.
I have to manually change the rights to 644 almost everyday. How can i get the rights to stay at 644?

My understanding is that raw volumes are not cached and I assumed that the ramdisk is not either. Am... (1 Reply)
