Does anyone know of a good reference that lists which calls are interruptable?
I was assuming pretty much all system calls were previously, but looking at the man pages for filesystem calls like open or rename, the list of errors doesn’t include EINTR.
The updated signal(7) man pages has the anwser. The one I was using from RHEL 5.5 did not. Link below.

Thanks to Damon for the quick anwser!
