We have now updated the OS for this system to Leap 42.3. It does not seem that this is having the same effect. One difference I see is that the sync command seems to take a very long time. Like over a minute each time.
BTW: newer sync (>=8.24) supports to take a file system as argument, so the others are not sync'ed: $ sync --help | grep -- -f -f, --file-system sync the file systems that contain the files Have a nice day, Berny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
