Dear Alex,

For environments stored on filesystems where you can't have a redundant configuration, rather than just over-writing the existing environment in fw_setenv, do the tradtional create temporary file, rename, sync, sync directory dance to achieve ACID semantics when writing through fw_setenv.
I isagree with the statement that we _can't have_ redundant environments in a file system. It may not be supported by the current implementation, but there is actually nothing that would prevent us to come up with more powerful code that supports exactly such a feature.
[This does not mean that I disagree with your patch - on contary, I think it's good.]
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
