When we append data to the binlog file, we use fdatasync() to ensure the data gets to disk so that crash recovery can work. Unfortunately there seems to be a bug in ext3/ext4 on linux, so that fdatasync() does not correctly sync all data when the size of a file is increased. This causes crash recovery to not work correctly (it loses transactions from the binlog). As a work-around, use fsync() for the binlog, not fdatasync(). Since we are increasing the file size, (correct) fdatasync() will most likely not be faster than fsync() on any file system, and fsync() does work correctly on ext3/ext4. This avoids the need to try to detect if we are running on buggy ext3/ext4.
