I am sorry, but that appears to be completely wrong. The base POSIX
specification allows a null implementation of fsync. If one is not concerned about a system crash or unclean shutdown, there is no need to call fsync, aio_fsync, fbarrier or any other comparable function.

This is also true, of course. If the docs say you need to restore after a crash, then open(), write(), close(), rename() is just fine.
