We've got a backup solution we're trying to adapt to run on NVFS
systems. However, we're running into a LOT of stability problems,
apparently linked to NVFS. Basically, after a certain number of
DmGetRecord() operations, we're getting unexplained crashes. For
example, I have a large database I'd like to backup. If I try to just
back that ONE db up, there are no problems. However, if I operate on
a bunch of other dbs first, I get a crash.

I've tried using DmSyncDatabase() quite liberally, to no avail. Since
it appears as though there's some corruption being introduced into
the NVFS cache, I was wondering if there's a way to TOTALLY flush
this cache, so that we're starting with a clean slate.

SysReset() will do it. There's also DmSync() which will flush all changes, but it won't clear the cache back to a "just-booted" state.
