You mean something like: echo "<something>blahlbahlbah</something>" >> file.text ... what a concept ...

Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted Jun 20, 2008 20:38 UTC (Fri) by jlokier (subscriber, #52227) [Link] If you think 'echo "text" >> file' cannot corrupt data before the place you're writing to, when power is lost at the wrong moment (e.g. laptop runs out of battery), think again. There are filesystems and filesystem options that will prevent that, but ext3 with default options isn't one of them. Not just theoretically: I have actually seen such corruption in log files.
