[Bug 1126328] Re: [MIR] eatmydata

[Phillip Susi]

Good point about the package needing updated.  I think that bug is in
gnulib, not eatmydata.  When fsync() doesn't actually do anything, it
shouldn't have to report an error that would otherwise happen if it DID
try to sync.  I have emailed gnulib about it and will file a bug report
to update the eatmydata package.

Title:
  [MIR] eatmydata

Status in “debootstrap” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “libeatmydata” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Please promote eatmydata to main.

  The reason for this request is to support bug #1126314, which requests
  debootstrap to make use of eatmydata to make installs and
  debootstrapping chroots 5 times faster.  This is a very simple
  LD_PRELOAD library that overrides fsync() and related calls to be a
  noop.  As such, it is extremely unlikely to have any security issues.
