[netCDF #NVI-857322]: Re: [netcdfgroup] Wondering about when NetCDF data hits the disk...

Thomas,

I should have pointed out that for a quick test you don't really need to 
download and build 
a snapshot distribution, you could just insert the fsync() call in nc.c 
according to this
context diff patch:

$ cvs diff -c -r2.152 libsrc/nc.c

  }

! 
! #ifdef USE_FSYNC
!       /* experimental, to see if it improves NFS concurrent access */
!       status = fsync(ncp->nciop->fd);
! #endif        /* USE_FSYN */
! 
!       return status;
  }
