Can I assume that other operations like moving, copying, linking etc also work in the same manner - i.e. that the kernel flushes the end results to disk when it sees fit?Yes, it's most definitely (1). The kernel usually decides when commit to media happens, possibly juggling things to increase throughput. Elevator and all those things. It wouldn't make sense to put the app to wait for as long as this happens.
