just "sync" should work as it will sync the whole system, and generally the other filesystems have little or no data in them so sync fast.
sync <file> syncs a file, and the data is not queued up on the file/device /dev/sdc1 (a tiny amount is, but that will sync fast) the data is queue on the filesystem that sits ontop /dev/sdc1.
