[MPICH] MPI-IO atomic mode

Hi,

I have one question about the MPI-IO atomic mode. If we set a file 
handle as atomic mode, does ROMIO always perform fsync()/flush() for 
each write? If it doesn't, how it's ensured that each write is available 
to other processes, as a requirement to guarantee correctness? Thank you!
