I have a test-case, so you can cut out the amateur. Partition is 100GB at the beginning of a 1,5TB SATA HDD connected by USB3 enclosure: Machine has 4GB of memory and is running a vanilla 3.7.0 kernel. mkfs.xfs -l size=1024b -s size=4096 /dev/sdb1 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt mkdir /mnt/a cd /mnt/a for dat in `seq 1 40`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$dat bs=1k count=900k ; done Then i started a timer and waited for 5 minutes. Then i yanked out the cable, my machine was writing to the 24th file at that point. umount /mnt <replug cable> mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ls -l /mnt <In words: Nothing there, not even a> I tried it 3 times, all times with the same result that not even "a" was there. In the last run i did a `ls -l /mnt/a` at the 4 minute-point, it showed several files with 900MB. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
