Wow. Could this explain why we have a lot of problems with MySQL running on Mac OS with the databases randomly getting totally corrupted and basically needing to be restored from backup each time? At first glance, it seems to make sense - if someone shuts down while there is still uncommitted data because MySQL has tried a fsync(), it could leave the files on disk in a weird state when the power is cut. Am I missing something?
