ZODB does, as you can see in your installation's FileStorage.py
FileStorage._finish method.

Which version of Python are you using?  If you're using one of the early 2.3
releases, that would explain it; from the NEWS file for Python 2.3.2:

    - A bug in the autoconf machinery meant that os.fsync was never
      available.

2.3.3 should be used now.
