with journalled filesystems this is correct, though iirc there is a way to flush the journal for this type of application (well, specifically for mounting LVM snapshots to do backups, but it's semantically the same). but messing up the filesystem of a running machine shouldn't cause the effects described -- things should run, or more accurately fall messily apart, for a while after the event. -- ``It is hard to be pessimistic about an ageing population when your main source of employment is singing at funerals.''
