I was using vnd (with blowfish) on 4.0 GENERIC and wrote a file to the mount point. The power was cycled without unmounting. Once booted I remounted the encrypted disk and the file was not there. Is there anyway of flushing all writes to these devices so data loss when power is withdrawn is minimised? I read in vnd(4) that the vnd driver does not use a write buffer, but the svnd does. However I need blowfish and I seem to remember reading somewhere that crypto is only supported with the svnd driver.
typing sync at a command prompt should flush it. unfortunately, the double caching results in this kind of behavior.
