You may well be right that eventually file system designers will figure this stuff out so that well-written POSIX applications will not lose data even if they don't use fsync/fdatasync. However, if FSCQ is any indication, we're many years away from that. In the meantime fsync/fdatasync is all we have.
Thanks for the explanation. I have already started the last round of release candidates of the lzip family, but just after releasing lzip-1.18, in a month or so, i'll implement --synchronous in a way compatible with what you implement in gzip.
Best regards, Antonio.
