Just a stupid question about the various fsync settings.
There is fsync=off, but is there fsync=fflush ?
fflush would mean only an OS crash could cause data loss,
I think.it could be useful for some applications where you need a speed
boost (like testing database import scripts...) without being as scary as
fsync=off...
