From 6e24cb07c262e8c01347041c63c91ae79040f02e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: arreyder Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 09:35:26 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(dotc1z): add fsync and size validation to prevent c1z corruption Two defensive fixes to prevent corrupt c1z files from being saved: 1. Add explicit fsync on sqlite database file after Close() but before saveC1z() reads it for compression. On filesystems with aggressive caching (like ZFS with ARC), data may still be in kernel buffers. 2. Add size validation in SaveC1Z to detect truncated copies. Compares bytes copied to source file size and fails if they don't match. This catches the actual symptom we observed: truncated zstd streams missing the end-of-stream marker. Root cause investigation: Production incidents showed c1z corruption where sync succeeded and SaveC1Z logged success, but the uploaded file had a truncated zstd stream (missing end-of-stream marker). The size validation would catch this scenario and fail fast rather than uploading corrupt data. Cost: ~5ms for fsync + <1ms for stat - negligible for sync operations.
