Sometimes you delete a large batch of files, or you do some other serious FS operations and the output of `df` does not tell you immediately of the new disk space, etc.
If you run something like: sync Or even: sync ; sync it still doesn't show up. You either have to wait for a while, or you have to get silly with something like: sync ; sync ; sync ; sync ; sync ; sync ; sync (or unmount and remount the FS) ----- So my question is, well first off, why does this happen this way ? But mostly what I want to know is, is there a more graceful way to tell FreeBSD "sync for real this time, not just for joke only ?" Basically, is there a nicer way to get what I want than: sync ; sync ; sync ; sync ; sync ; sync ; sync thx. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
