Re: Linux does not care for data integrity

This would change the meaning of fsync from "force out the data" to "wait for the data to be written" in some implementations.

This is the meaning of fsync: copies all in-core parts of a file to disk, and waits until the device reports that all parts are on stable storage.

Anything less is a bug.
