As I understand it, under bog standard *nix System V, and 4.2 for that matter,
running on disk-rich workstations (i.e. without NFS), it is perfectly possible
for data to be lost long after the write(2) has occurred, the close(2) has
been performed, and the process itself having retired to a little cottage in
the country to end its days in comfort, with each operation gleefully reporting
success and basically life to be wonderful.

Consider what happens when your machine is informed that the disk has a BAD
SECTOR, or worse, that someone has emptied their morning coffee into your
drive cabinet and the drives have quit in protest...

Error returns? Luxury. They may be too late to do anything, but its better
than *not* telling you!

P.s. How about a "Call for Votes" on whether "comp.unix.internals" should be
renamed and re-chartered as "comp.whining.wingeing.noisy.bastards"?
":-)" Intentionally left out.

I sent a vote, through uunet, to the listed address, and it got to the
machine and then bounced with 'no such user' from that machine.

I don't think you want input.

I sent in my ballot right after this call for votes was issued
and I never received an acknowlegement.

I also sent a reply to this ``status of voting posting'' to you telling you
about
this and asking if you had my vote.  To date I have had no reply.

Considering the history of this issue I am hesitant to just start sending
in additional ballots until one is acknowleged (least I be accused of
ballot box stuffing!), but I want to be certain that my vote is counted!

Could you please look into this and straighten this out?

Also, if others who read this group have experienced the same
problem, would they please *post* this so that the group at large
can discover if this is a widespread phenomina.
