Hi folks,
I recently added a syncer(4) manual page to 5.0-CURRENT, to replace the
obsolete update(4) page. I want to know whether the BUGS section, which
I copied from update(4), is still true:
BUGS
It is possible on some systems that a sync(2) occurring simultaneously
with a crash may cause file system damage. See fsck(8).
It seems reasonable that this would still be true, but I wouldn't have a
clue either way. Anyone care to confirm or deny?
Ciao,
Sheldon.
