Hmm. I agree needless fsync()s are bad. Or does this cause some kind of breakage on nfs or something other weird stuff? Write caching is there for a reason, and it's plain stupid for normal applications to defeat it "just because".
I just used latencytop to measure fsync() times of >9 seconds on a heavily loaded machine with loads of memory for disk buffers, and that's exactly why I use write cache.
