This is of course what the unmount code (through VFS_FSYNC) already
does. The problem is that some changes for unlinked files appear
to get 'lost', i.e. as far as the kernel knows, there are no dirty
buffers/pages left for the filesystem, but somewhere along the way
something wasn't written. I have been unable to find the cause of this
so far.
