Phil,

Note well: I didn't question the code.

That's the point, really: journaling won't save you (because as you say, 
the scenarios are valid and you experience them regularly), so let's not 
use journaling to justify changes to 'forceChangesToDisk' methods.

Nothing's stopping anyone from running Cuis on a FAT formatted USB 
drive, i.e. without journaling (that I know of).  If just flushing is 
supported by journaling, does the absence of journaling invalidate the 
argument?  I don't think so --- then let's not mention journaling :).

Andres.
