    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
