Save file fails on network folder after updating to 8.1.950 (155) #861
Description
I can no longer save changes to files on network folders after updating MacVim to Custom Version 8.1.950 (155). I am on Mac OS X 10.13.6. I have several network shares mounted as smbfs.
After trying to save a file, the changes are not saved, the buffer shows as still modified, and I get an error: E667: Fsync failed
I tried restarting MacVim after removing .vimrc, as well as doing defaults delete org.vim.MacVim, but nothing helps.
MacVim can save changes to files on my local disk with no problems. Also, the system vim (/usr/bin/vim) can save files to local or network files with no problems.
Nothing has changed on my machine, other than updating MacVim.

Seems like v8.1.0915 (vim/vim@a787019) broke this. I will file a pull request with Vim to fix this.

I filed vim/vim#4016 so hopefully it will get merged in. The next version (snapshot-156) should have this fix. Meanwhile you could use an older version while waiting for this to get fixed (on Vim, then merged to MacVim).

Thank you for such a quick response! I will go back to pre-8.1.0915 for now since it is hard to imagine life without MacVim. :^)

This is currently fixed in Vim and the next version will have the fix. If you want to go back to 8.1.0950, you can do
set nofsyncbut it's a temporary solution. If you are happy with the previous version maybe just use that for now until the next update.ekortright commentedon Feb 22, 2019

Sorry for the delays, but the I have just released a new version for MacVim and it should have fixed this issue. @ekortright feel free to upgrade to 8.1.157 (snapshot 156).
