For those of us that work in UNIX environments in addition to Linux it is safest to do the double sync. i.e In general it takes 2 syncs to ensure data is flushed, but with Linux it is safe to do only one.
Now, what's that expression??
Oh, yeah, that's it: BS!
I'm sorry, but nonsense is nonsense.
At least do a "man 2 sync" and read it before you claim to understand it. You will see that the UNIX standard calls for a double sync. It is a Linux _choice_ to implement it as a single sync. Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century
