I can confirm this fails on my machine without nostrictsync:
$ ./test
fsync(): Permission denied
read fsync rc=-1, write fsync rc=0, close rc=0, RO close rc=0
and works with nostrictsync:
$ ./test
read fsync rc=0, write fsync rc=0, close rc=0, RO close rc=0
So is the bug in the Linux kernel?
Best regards,
