How to safely unmount a filesystem mounted async?

2003-01-22 Thread Darren Pilgrim
For performance reasons, I have a filesystem mounted with the async 
option.  The FS isn't used for anything I really value, just assorted 
object files and other temp data.  My question, though, is, how do I 
safely unmount an active async filesystem?  Does the unmount process 
automatically force a complete flush to disk?

You unmount the same way you would any other filesystem. 
Yes, doing an unmount will automatically flush any unwritten data to
the disk.
