Use sync at the command line before pulling the plug. This causes all buffers to be written to all disks.
Is the sync the same as the sync on NFS? As in setting async make the network run at a reasonable speed?
In a sense it is. Like NFS, the USB stick it updates the directory structure, I am not sure if before or after, when it writes a sector up. In nfs, it is similiar, in that it guarantees that the nfs directory are updated with the data over the network. I could be wrong about this, though. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
