can you use an actual chroot ?
Calling chroot tends to imply running code from the target system. I'd
prefer to avoid that by default. In practice some things are going to
require it, but the more we can avoid it, the better.
I am not sure I understand the fdatasync() argument here ?
sssd uses a database, so it is indeed probably "heavy" on f(data)sync
for your standards (?).
It's not about how heavy the use of fsync is - it's whether to do it at
all. There are two cases where we *don't* want to fsync - mock chroots
and initial installs in Anaconda. For the other cases, like upgrading
a running system, we do.
