questions about flush data to disk.

["Michael" <ning_wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear SGI,

 

I’m trying to backup XFS partition SUSE 12 with XFS_PROGS 3.2.1, when we do snapshot of the partition. The created snapshot always have problem by run “xfs_repair ?n /dev/VG/snapshot”. I have tried “sync” didn’t flush cache to disk. Then tried to umount and mount the XFS partition the snapshot looks fine. Can you tell me another way to force XFS flush cached data to disk?

 

Best Regards

Michael(Ning)Wang
