I don't know if that guarantees anything or it just happens to work in practice often enough to make people feel safe with it. > 2) Also I've observed that in case of logging file system if there are > continuous I/O's to the filesystem then sync hangs. Don't know about this, although sometimes sync can take a very long time, especially on linux where I do believe sync actually does wait for I/O to complete.
