I put sync as a cron job to avoid losing data. Make a file (say
crontab) in your home directory containing the following:
MAILTO=""
* * * * * /bin/sync
I think a blank MAILTO is required so that it doesn't send you the
output of sync every time (I'm not sure). Then ``install'' it with the
command - `crontab crontab'. So now, that it flushes the changes to
disk every minute, your problems will reduce dramatically. (Since I
did this, I have never got the prompt telling me to run fsck
manually!)
