Any references for Unices traditionally skipping FUA or synchronize cache to the storage stack? Sounds surprising to me. Here's Solaris for example: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/solaris/ZFSDiskWrit...

Also re Linux here's eg PostgreSQL 9.0 documentation saying ext4/zfs + scsi used the "SYNCHRONIZE CACHE" command with fsync even back then, and a equivalent SATA command being used by the storage stack with SATA-6 and later drives: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/wal-reliability.html
