Hello,
jidanni is right. Sync can return before the data are fully synchronized in
accordance with POSIX.1-2001. Quote of the sync.2 man page:
According to the standard specification (e.g., POSIX.1-2001),
sync() schedules the writes, but may return before the actual
writing is done. However, since version 1.3.20 Linux does actually
wait. (This still does not guarantee data integrity: modern disks
have large caches.)
It deserves to be mentioned in sync.1.
Regards,
