 This is a known 'bug'[1] in SQLite3. There is a workaround, quoting:
"You can work around the problem by compiling with
-DSQLITE_DISABLE_DIRSYNC=1".

But the webpage also states: "SQLite appears to be doing the right thing
here. The bug appears to be OpenWRT-Linux, not in SQLite."

Using the mentioned workaround is very risky:
"That macro disables the directory syncing logic. But then if you lose
power at exactly the wrong moment and your rollback journal vanishes (or
gets moved to /lost+found) and your database is corrupted - don't
complain. I better solution, it seems, would be to fix OpenWRT-Linux.".

As for now, I don't want to make this risk to all of our users, tagging
this bug as wontfix.
