Shouldn't bdflush (or something like that) handle regular flushing of
buffers to disk for the event that the system dies without a clean
shutdown/unmount? How does XFS handle the cache (or is the a kernel
function that is independent from the filesystem)? When does data get sent
to disk other than during explicit sync calls (or deletes, which are done
synchronously, hehehe)?
