No problem; happy to help. The g-p-m maintainer made a comment in Gnome's Bugzilla #586582. He said that g-p-m should only be doing the fsync()'s when batter is low, but since that is not what I am seeing I filed a new bug in their Bugzilla: Bug 588596 – g-p-m calls fsync() after writing power history data http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588596 I attached an strace showing the fsync() every 150 seconds. Guess we'll find out soon whether it's a bug or a "feature"...
