If I understand SUS v2 correctly, fsync() must sync meta data
corresponding to the file.
If Linux ext2 doesn't to that, it might be a good idea to change
that so it does.
Define 'meta-data' --- linux sync's any inode and/or bitmap changes,
fsyn on a file will ensure it is intact but not that it can't get
lost.
