Correct. Read the man page. It doesn't do what most people think it does. Nor does sync as the man page for sync explains. The only way, under most setups, to get all changes to the disk surface is to do no reads or writes for a couple of seconds. This gives everything in the data path a chance to write all its caches to the next level of hardware. That's what the pause between the commands in 'sync sync halt' does: do nothing for a while.
