I did some experiments with BLOCK, UPDATE, and FLUSH. I notice that if I update and flush say block 1, having started in a directory with no BLOCKS.FB file, the directory isn't updated until blocks.fb is closed, either explicitly or by saying BYE to gforth. My question is based on not knowing much about operating systems (Linux in this case). When does the updated an flushed block actually go onto the disk? If Linux were to crash before blocks.fb were closed, would I find my data on the disk later after rebooting?
