6 | The queue (except for bounce message contents) is crashproof, if the | |
7 | filesystem guarantees that single-byte writes are atomic and that | |
8 | directory operations are synchronous. These guarantees are provided by | |

10 | Linux, make sure that all mail-handling filesystems are mounted with | |
11 | synchronous metadata. |
