> We can't catch fsync errors and continue so we shouldn't have code that does
> that in C*. There was a Postgres bug where fsync returned an error and the FS
> lost data, but subsequent fsyncs succeeded.

> looks a little janky. What's up with that? When would trySync be something
> we would merely try? If try is good enough why do it at all considering try

> Also when we fsync in FD it's not just fsyncing that file the FS is
> potentially fsyncing other data and the error code we get could be related to
> that other data so we can't safely ignore it. The filesystem could be
> internally inconsistent as well. This happens because the FS journaling may
> force the FS to flush other data as well to preserve the ordering
> requirements of journaled metadata.
> If we ignore fsync errors it needs to be for whitelisted reasons such as a
> bad FD.
> I know we have FSErrorHandler and it makes sense for reads, but I'm not sold

> or writing to the commit log to my knowledge. We could go read only and I
> need to check if that is w
