Really? How does mounting with "-o sync" *improve* performance? I am 
certainly aware that mounting with "-o sync" has severe performance 
impacts, but was proposing it anyway *only* to tackle the data integrity 
problem. However, I'm curious if usescaes in the embedded world are 
equally affected by this.
