I need to temporarily modify the disk cache parameters so it does not wait so long to sync, or take as long to sync.
See the "/proc/sys/vm" section of /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt. Since you are using ext3 you can 'chattr -S -R /some/dir' to force synchronous writes as well. -- -ckm
