I added sync option to mount in fstab file, rebooted, and still have same 
issue:
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults,sync

Would it help to make a tcpdump trace when running this command?
echo 1 > newfile.txt
This dump will contain all disc I/O commands, maybe giving some clue
