- It's stupid. How does sync() multiple times in secession work better than once? Well, not to split hair, sync() means all data needs to hit the disk. Accessing it via a bock device for a mounted file

- I never claimed it was smart :) Yup. It does, but you can't unmount and then mount the filesystem if you don't have a seperate /boot partition. Yup. I'd need to check up if O_DIRECT is supported in

- sync means the filesystem will look the same after a crash, it does not mean all the data has to hit the disk. In the case of XFS it does not really mean this. Sync will make sure that the journal is

- fsync()/sync() should mean all dirty DATA blocks and METADATA blocks are flushed to the backing store. Anything less than this is a bug. SuS requires that sync() schedule writes to the file system bu

- Depends on how you define backing store. Read again what Steve wrote. All metadata is in the log, so it's not lost on a crash. It's inplace, though, so unless grub relays the log in memory somewhere

- And thinking about it some more, having grub make the filesystem remount readonly would force everything down to disk unlike just doing a sync call. Steve

- Hi Steve. Yup. That's what's happening. It first does one run with --just-copy where it writes the files using the filesystem then reads the same files using the blockdevice and it's own filesystem c

- And I presume the files are missing? The bizzare part of this is that if you read the via the block device interface, you are looking at the same in memory pages which xfs uses for the metadata cache

- It will exist if you have an xfs filesystem and /proc mounted. Loading an xfs module will create it. Looks like both 2.4 and 2.6 use this now. Steve
