Could this possibly be a problem with a bad fsync implementation in linux (< 2.6.5)?

MySql is getting bashed pretty hard in some cases as apparently, in power
failures, you get database corruption.  (this is all from the posts, not my
opinion at all, I am asking only to learn more) Also, it is mentioned the
MySql devs just do not have data corruption from power failure a high
priority.

Many are leaning on Postgres.  For me, MySql has never let me down (Knock on
PSU) but I have to ask, for more data on this matter.  I run MySql on OS X,
I sometimes have to reboot, it comes back up fine, I do however, do nothing
special to shut down mysql, should I be?
