In spite of config files size. I think this is a bug, as well as a regression. I got the time to see that the function mc_config_new_or_override_file() is called more times with the same filename and removing O_SYNC in mc_open() mades the operation silent to me. Maybe there isn't a good combination of things. From mc_config_new_or_override_file(): fd = mc_open (ini_path, O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC | O_SYNC, 0); [...] for (written_data = data, total_written = len; (cur_written = mc_write (fd, (const void *) written_data, total_written)) > 0; written_data += cur_written, total_written -= cur_written) { open sequence while mc quits: open(""/home/fra/.mc/ini"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 open(""/home/fra/.mc/ini"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 open(""/home/fra/.mc/ini"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 open(""/home/fra/.mc/panels.ini"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 open(""/home/fra/.mc/ini"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 open(""/home/fra/.mc/history"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 open(""/home/fra/.mc/history"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 open(""/home/fra/.mc/history"", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC) = 9 " defect closed major 4.8.0-pre1 mc-core 4.7.5 fixed merged committed-master committed-stable
