Subject: Why is one sync() not enough?
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:41:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050614094141.GE1467@schottelius.org> (raw)

Hello again!

When my system shuts down and init calls sync() and after that
umount and then reboot, the filesystem is left in an unclean state.

If I do sync() two times (one before umount, one after umount) it
seems to work.

Can someboy explain that to me?

Architecture is ppc and x86.

Nico
