sync - update the super block

SYNOPSIS

sync

DESCRIPTION

sync executes the sync system primitive. If the system is to be stopped, sync must be called to insure file system integrity. It will flush all previously unwritten system buffers out to disk, thus assuring that all file modifica- tions up to that point will be saved. See sync(2) for details.
