If this is not the appropriate list please point me in the right direction.
I am a PostgreSQL contributor and we have come across a reliability problem
with writes and fsync(). You can see the thread here:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20180401002038.GA2211%40paquier.xyz#20180401002038.GA2211@xxxxxxxxxxx

The tl;dr; in the first message doesn't quite describe the problem as we
started to dig into it further.

You might try the XFS list (linux-xfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) seeing as the
initial complaint is against xfs behaviors...

Later in the thread it becomes apparent that it applies to ext4 (NFS too) as well. I picked ext4 because I assumed it is the most populated of the lists since its the default filesystem for most distributions.
