This is series is looking good. I have a few minor issues but no more.

There are two parts I don't really know enough about to be certain
about: the fsyncing and the sigtrap bit. 

For fsync: I have some recollection that you have to fsync all subpaths
to the root to guarantee that it makes it to the disk. 

One in particular that may need more fsyncing is if you create a folder
A/B/C/D/E/ for the messages then I think you only fsync the message and
A/B/C/D/E/new.

My other comments are all very minor and are made in individual replies.

Best wishes

Mark
