Also forward fsync and datasync to flush. UEFI does not have anything separate for metadata sync.

    pub fn flush(&self) -> io::Result<()> {
-        unsupported()
+        self.0.flush()
    }


The Write::flush method should be a noop for Files. It's only meant to flush buffered writers to the OS, since files are unbuffered there's nothing to do.

I have made it a noop and added a comment for the same. However, while it is a noop on unix and windows, other platforms like motor, solid, etc seem to call normal file flush on it.

I don't know whether those platforms do anything special or it just wasn't caught during review.

CC @lasiotus @kawadakk in case the platforms need fixing.

Thanks for the ping!

Re: flushing a file on Motor OS: the story is a bit complicated: while at the moment the call is a noop, it won't be in the future, as Motor OS is moving towards a fully asynchronous I/O (at the moment file I/O is synchronous) with in-process async runtime, so flushing a file will not stay a noop. The good news is that the call is already plumbed through to Motor OS runtime, so no changes to Rust std are expected.
