Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5588:
---------------------------------------

In fact. it also does not work on Linux, see 
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.standards.posix.austin.general/6952

You have to open the file for read and then call fsync. I will think about a 
patch.

> We should also fsync the directory when committing

> Since we are on Java 7 now and we already fixed FSDir.sync to use FileChannel 
> (LUCENE-5570), we can also fsync the directory (at least try to do it). 
> Unlike RandomAccessFile, which must be a regular file, FileChannel.open() can 
> also open a directory:
