But I would expect close() to do an implicit fsync() as well, and return the error if the implicit fsync() didn't succeed (but still closing the file). As I already mentionned, linux behaves this way, and I guess applications expects this behavior.
I would not expect close() to implicitly fsync() the file, and 
I do not think that NetBSD does so.  If the application wants 
fsync-like behaviour then I think the application should call 
fsync().
