When does the data written to a RandomAccessFile
actually get written to disk? There is no flush()
or sync() method so when can I be sure that my data
is actually on the disk? Without these calls, both possible answers are unsatifactory. If it is whenever Java feels like it, I have an integrity problem.

The class RandomAccessFile allows for random access (i.e., non-stream) to a
file. Using the getFD() method, you can invoke the sync() method. However,
there is no flush() method on RandomAccessFile. Sure would be nice to be able
to flush data out of all buffers after writing data.
