<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
MINIX maintains a cache of recently used disk blocks. The <EM>sync</EM> command
|
|
writes any modified cache blocks back to the disk. This is essential
|
|
before stopping the system, and should be done before running any <EM>a</EM>.<EM>out</EM>
|
|
program that might crash.
