Hi,

Could someone enlighten me whether fdatasync() system call on Linux, when
called on the fd of an open()-ed block device, will result in the
committing of all dirty device buffers to disk?

If not, how do I achieve this? Should I use the BLKFLSBUF ioctl?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

         Anton
