See the "Defaulting wal_sync_method to fdatasync on Linux for 9.1?" (performance) and "Revert default wal_sync_method to fdatasync on Linux 2.6.33+" on hackers. O_DSYNC got finally properly implemented on linux with 2.6.33 (and thus 2.6.32- rc1). > um=1 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ext4_then_now&num=6 That one looks pretty uninteresting.
