Subject: Flushing RAM contents?
A user wants to time a command/program/application and ensure the full
contents of that command's data management has been flushed from RAM/cache
and saved to disk. Is there a way to ensure the cache/RAM is flushed to
disk, or is the flushing a function of the kernel or the application?
This happens to be on a 64-bit Intel system with 64-bit CentOS 5, fully
patched. But even if the system were an out-of-box 64-bit install,
unpatched, would it make a difference?
Thanks.
Scott
