Yes, obviously if your application requires the data to be stored permanently it should call fsync()!

Google do not use fsync. They use triple redundancy for their data and handle single storage node faults as usual in-process working events (i.e. bring the redundancy back to 3, and replace the failed node with a new empty operational one).
