[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42242] Octave does not always execute most recently saved file in an NFS directory

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #42242 (project octave):

The behavior below looks correct. But,
the fact that the flush (sorry, I looked for fflush)
was "successful" does not necesarily mean thet
NFS actually wrote the data back to the server and flushed
its buffers. This depends on NFS options, and,...

I thought that the GUI allowed external editiors like emacs.
Is this not true?

It s quite likely that this is still an NFS
problem. Definitely more likely if NFS sync is not
set.

I doubt if testing for flush fail will help on this
problem, but it could be worth implementing.
That said, I have not idea what should be done if a fail
is reported. This could happen if the NFS system has gome
offline, but then nothing will work anyhow.
