> The mannual of fsync said:
> bq. Calling fsync() does not necessarily ensure that the entry in
> the directory containing the file has also reached disk. For that an
> explicit fsync() on a file descriptor for the directory is also needed.
> At least on ext4, syncing the directory is a must to have step, as described
> by [1]. Otherwise, the new sstables or commit logs could be missed after
> crash even if itself is synced.
> Unfortunately, JVM does not provide an approach to sync the directory...
