Thanks for the speedy response.

After spending several hours slogging through the discussion on Ted Tso's blog and spending much more time than anticipated learning about FUA, write barriers, fsync vs. fdatasync, how fsync is implemented in linux, etc., I'm curious about the technical details of how this is accomplished. Any place where I can find this short of reading through the source code?
