I think, thats a good way to work like that. Because thats fast and
often efficient. Sure the problem is, that you have to compare what
0_SYNC does and 0_FSYNC does. If its quite the same, it's ok, if it's
not you have to find a second way and you have to patch all this things
which are different.
But normally you don't want to take the time to find that out or to
patch the whole programm. So I think it's ok just change 0_SYNC to
0_FSYNC. If there are some troubles you don't find out, maybe other
people will find that out and send a pr to freebsd... ;-)
