Re: What is the new sync command?

[Roger Heflin]

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.
