I was looking for some information on how write barriers interact with software raid and ran across the following kernel thread referenced on LWN. The suggestion is that fsync isn't really safe on Linux as it is currently implented. (The thread was from February 2008, so it probably still applies.) http://lwn.net/Articles/270891/
