Summary:
Closing https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5954
fsync/fdatasync on Linux:
```
(fsync/fdatasync) includes writing through or flushing a disk cache if present.
```
However, on OS X and iOS:
```
(fsync) will flush all data from the host to the drive (i.e. the "permanent storage device"),
the drive itself may not physically write the data to the platters for quite some time and it
may be written in an out-of-order sequence.
```
Solution is to use `fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC)` on OS X so that we get the same
persistence guarantee.
According to OSX man page,
```
The F_FULLFSYNC fcntl asks the drive to flush **all** buffered data to permanent storage.
```
This suggests that it will be no faster than `fsync` on Linux, since Linux, according to its man page,
```
writing through or flushing a disk cache if present
```
It means Linux may not flush **all** data from disk cache.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/main/examples
See the github wiki for more explanation.
The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.
