MemoryMappedBuffer flushing

[Bobrowski, Maciej]

Hi All,


Given that I am using a memory-mapped file, with an underlying O/S page sie of e.g. 4KB, are there any guarantees about when the flush (page synch) will be performed with respect to writes?

For instance: If I write 100 bytes to the page A, will those 100 bytes always be reflected fully or can O/S synch at an arbitrary time, let's say after writing just 10 bytes? Are there any guarantees, for instance, that an aligned int write will be fully reflected upon page synch?

Thanks a lot in advance for any info.

Maciej
