Size I zapped the bb_close() error, might as well make a TODO item.

| 43 | bb_close() with fsync() | ||
| 44 | We should have a bb_close() in place of normal close, with a CONFIG_ option | ||
| 45 | to not just check the return value of close() for an error, but fsync(). | ||
| 46 | Close can't reliably report anything useful because if write() accepted the | ||
| 47 | data then it either went out or it's in cache or a pipe buffer. Either way, | ||
| 48 | there's no guarantee it'll make it to its final destination before close() | ||
| 49 | gets called, so there's no guarantee that any error will be reported. | ||
| 50 | You need to call fsync() if you care about errors that occur after write(), | ||
| 51 | but that can have a big performance impact. So make it a config option. | ||
