Comment (by jmroot):

 The link to the VMware docs seems to have broken, but from your quote in
 that thread, it sounds like fsync works correctly in a VM. It's not clear
 whether the fcntls do. F_FULLFSYNC goes beyond waiting for the drive to
 acknowledge the write and tells it to actually flush the write buffer and
 ensure everything is on the platter before saying it's done.

 We could try using [https://sqlite.org/wal.html WAL] when available, and
 only checkpoint when closing the registry. That should at least reduce the
 window in which corruption can occur if the system shuts down
 unexpectedly.
