you got me curious since i couldn't find the answer as easily as i thought i would *g*
i went to google and did a search for "file attributes linux" and came across a link to the 'chattr' man page. the following excerpt is, i believe, what you're looking for... "When a file with the `S' attribute set is modified, the changes are written synchronously on the disk; this is equivalent to the `sync' mount option applied to a subset of the files." in other words, this apparently ensures any changes to this file are immediately written to disk rather than waiting for sync to do it according to its schedule. i didn't read the entire manpage so you might want to make sure i didn't miss something relevant.
