SYNC(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SYNC(2)NAME
sync - commit buffer cache to disk
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
void sync(void);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sync():
_BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
DESCRIPTION
sync() first commits inodes to buffers, and then buffers to disk.
ERRORS
This function is always successful.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
Since glibc 2.2.2 the Linux prototype is as listed above, following the various standards. In libc4, libc5, and glibc up to 2.2.1 it was
"int sync(void)", and sync() always returned 0.
BUGS
According to the standard specification (e.g., POSIX.1-2001), sync() schedules the writes, but may return before the actual writing is
done. However, since version 1.3.20 Linux does actually wait. (This still does not guarantee data integrity: modern disks have large
caches.)

Hi,
I want to remove a directory recursively except the inside directories calles .SYNC (designsync dirs) I am looking for something like:
\rm -rf < find . * | grep -v .SYNC
The find works ok but I do not know how to redirect it.
Please help.

Anyone know how to go about skipping the initial disk sync of a newly created drbd resource?
I'm creating brand new 30gb partitions and would like to skip the entire initial sync, I've read this is possible but I cannot seem to find the instructions to do it.
Thanks,
