Thanks for your reply.
You are right, now I'm starting to understand that what I was trying to
achieve was actually a change in the application logic...
I'd have a different question now:
Is the fsync in a nobarrier mount totally swallowed?
If not:
a) what guarantees does it provide in a nobarrier situation and
b) is there a "fakefsync" mount option or some other way to make it a
no-op? (I understand the risk, and the fact that this is actually a
change in the application's logic)
