Perhaps this is one of the reasons and it's probably somewhere in the
documentation too so it cannot be a bug therefore it must be a feature :)
Heikki Tuuri "'nosync' is dangerous. If there is a power outage, or the
OS crashes, there is a great chance that your tablespace will be
corrupted. MyISAM always runs in the 'nosync' mode, that is, it never
calls fsync() to flush the files to disk."
