[Mono-list] Handling fsync

[Antonello Provenzano]

Guys,

My father used to say that "before asking a question you should know
the answer"... :P

I'm sorry for the previous message: I checked out better documentation
and I found what I was looking for. I hope it will work, but at least
now I know where to look for.

Thank you all for ignoring the previous request.

Cheers!
Anto
