A fix will show up in the development cvs tree shortly, and will be in the
next spin of the rpm images. This was a case of the fsync code not being
brought upto date with kernel interface changes over time - the only
place it mattered from is sync NFS. Time to go beat up the tester who
was running NFS tests - looks like mount options were not on his list.
