We just wish the cache could be written out in-order. If there's no way to make that happen... we can reorganize our file-system, exports, mounts, etc so that the log file directory is mounted with the sync option. However, the problem *might* be annoying and wide-spread enough to warrant a change. Anyway, thanks!
