I just didn't find relation of fpfsync function to mac os x
implementation.

I have the same actually, but it doesn't work as I expect.

When I write into FileStream any data I call FlushBuffer function
which contains fpfsync(handle), but because if still buggy version of
ported application I have some expections which crashes application
and then nearly all changed files are broken.

Are you sure, that fpfsync works fine on Mac OS?
