[rabbitmq-discuss] Publisher confirms requires seperate call to get ack?

[Ryan Brown]

I apologize for the silence. I've had an end-of-year rush and vacation. I'm
not picking this up and very much appreciate the great information.

So, question (hopefully responding to this old post is ok). When I receive
a basic.ack, does that confirm that the message has been written to disk?
Or is that just an ack that one of the rabbit nodes has accepted the
publish? My SLA requires the former. One of my coworkers recalled seeing
something that indicated a separate call to confirm the write to disk. (I
am having a hard time finding that article at the moment.)

Best.
