Hi Robert, sorry to hear about your data loss:

It is worth pointing out that this (missing fsync) is -exactly- the same
in the OpenOffice code, so ... while it's absence might well be the
cause of your grief, it's not different to what you had before.

GregKH managed to 3/4 persuade me that we should just call fsync()
wherever and risk the wrath, frustration etc. of people blaming the
kernel /file-system bugs for ext2, ext3 etc. and to some extent
ext4/btrfs on us.

I'm inclined to do that I guess - and skip the fstab parsing etc.
