Ron, The delay between the application issuing the write, and the I/O being issued by the kernel is more on the order of seconds. Certainly not hours or days. If some change that had been made a week ago suddenly disappeared after a crash and reboot, that wasn't due to the kernel caching the write. Something else was definitely happening there.
