in reply to Testing unexpected I/O failures

Just a wandering high level thought, would it be feasible to fork a process that evaluates not select, prior to sanity checks and ending after an otherwise successful open? The idea being this may provide some information about an unexpected event occuring.

Whether this is something already considered or worth further investigating I would be interested to understand.

    G'day Don Coyote,

    Thanks for the reply and your suggestion.

    At present, I would imagine any unexpected events of this nature to be extremely rare. If that situation changes, something along the lines of what you have here may be useful; however, at this stage, I'm not considering implementing anything like this.
