I've also noticed that it writes straight to the disk rather than
waiting for the system sync which totally defeats the purpose of the
whole thing,
don't think it's possible to write straight to disk. there's an
O_SYNC flag to open, but AFAIK it doesn't do anything. opening a file
in synchronous mode isn't implemented in linux. it's either sync the
complete device or wait for linux to write out dirty buffers.
