How about oflag=fsync?  Your older systems should support that, I think.

You are welcome to add that option, but I think it is not available until recent kernels/coreutils.

    Hi Bart,

    Should that dd command in there have an extra flag like
    "oflag=direct" to make sure it doesn't just write to the buffer
    cache when you check the device?  oflag=fsync would probably work too.

           We have seen several cases where iSCSI errors have caused the

           to become read-only while a file system server daemon is running.
           This patch adds a check to the Filesystem-qla-monitor script
        to make
           sure the device is still writable and causes a STONITH if not.

           Bart.
