I'm using r15a in all my unRAID setups. How do I perform a manual sync?

telnet it and execute 'sync'.

OK. Thanks!

For those following this thread that want to insure your filesystems are synced at least once per day.

 

You can issue the following commands to install it to the daily cron folder.

This has the side effect of spinning all your disks up once a day.

 

echo "/bin/sync" > /etc/cron.daily/sync.sh 

chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/sync.sh

 

You should see the following.

ls -l /etc/cron.daily/sync.sh                 

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10 2013-06-26 22:45 /etc/cron.daily/sync.sh

 

cat /etc/cron.daily/sync.sh

/bin/sync

 

Then you can run it once to be sure.

/etc/cron.daily/sync.sh

Note that this will also spin up all your drives.

I sent out email to those wanting to test this issue that -16a is available.  I'm going to close this thread and start a new one.
