Harshavardhana 1f262daf6f
rename all remaining packages to internal/ (#12418)
This is to ensure that there are no projects
that try to import `minio/minio/pkg` into
their own repo. Any such common packages should
go to `https://github.com/minio/pkg`

// Fdatasync - fdatasync() is similar to fsync(), but does not flush modified metadata
// unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval
// to be correctly handled. For example, changes to st_atime or st_mtime
// (respectively, time of last access and time of last modification; see inode(7))
// do not require flushing because they are not necessary for a subsequent data
// read to be handled correctly. On the other hand, a change to the file size
// (st_size, as made by say ftruncate(2)), would require a metadata flush.
//
// The aim of fdatasync() is to reduce disk activity for applications that
// do not require all metadata to be synchronized with the disk.
