@revk@torvalds Uh, that may require a lot of buffering for the replacement file in the Linux file handling code, right? I know you are thinking of config files etc., but how would the code know what size the file will be?
@Miq@torvalds Not sure, the notion of making a file not in a directory already exists. All that needs "buffering" is the path name of them file to replace on close.
