Are you sure about this?

    Error description

       LINUX O_DIRECT/O_SYNC TAKES TOO MANY IOS

    Problem summary

       On AIX, the O_SYNC and O_DSYNC are different values and
       performance improvement are available because the inode does
       not need to be flushed for mtime changes only.
       On Linux the flags are the same, so performance is lost.
       when databases open files with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC.
