vzfsync - perform fsync/fdatasync/fadvise on files
Contents
Description
This utility performs fsync(2) or fdatasync(2) for every supplied file name. It can also optionally
perform posix_fadvise(2) with the argument of POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED.
It is used from within vzmigrate(8) utility for live migration, right after copying ploop delta files
(and before suspending a container) to sync those copied files to disk in order to optimize subsequent
ploop mount time and, utlimately, container frozen time.
Exit Status
Returns 0 upon success, or an appropriate error code in case of an error:
1 Invalid usage
2 Failed to perform some requested operations on one or many files.
