Thanks for suggestion. BTW, ext4 also does not support direct IO and data journalling but it silently falls back to buffered IO. Anyway new patch is attached.

This confuses test 272. Make the test check whether open succeeds and perform the writing only if it does. Thanks for Dave Chinner for suggesting a simpler way to fix the test.
