Yes. Well, if you're sufficiently convinced then I think the right
thing for you to do is to submit a patch to change the calls to fsync
to calls to fdatasync.
Sadly my patches don't seem to have been applied in CVS yet. I'll
arrange to publish my git tree and then you can make a diff that will
sit properly on top of my tree (which is what you want because I have
added error checking, so otherwise we get a conflict).
