3112	Use fdatasync() when copying/moving files to calculate their proper transfer speed	birdie		"In Linux the dirty write cache buffer makes MC's speed calculation incorrect - the file might not have been written out to the storage, yet MC will calculate its transfer speed regardless.

Please, use fdatasync() for every 64MB (it's you to decide, or maybe it's worth making this variable user configurable) of transferred data.
