Hi ext3
users:
Here I have a problem with how
sync works on ext3. Basically I am using ext3 and GRUB on flash. What
happens is:
1. ftp two big boot images
into ext3 (on a flash)
2. do sync
3. reset immediately (without umounting)
4. GRUB cannot find the two images
5. boot with another image, and the two images are there (b/c journal was replayed)
2. do sync

ext2 doesnt have this
problem.
My first thinking was that
ext3 sync doesn't sync all the data but probably just the journal, but I asked
ext3 maintainer and he said ext3 sync all the data not just the journal, so I
get confused.
Anyone has any idea why this
is happening? Thanks.
