This includes modified super blocks, modified i-nodes, and delayed block I/O. Fsync does the same thing, but only for the blocks associated with a specific file descriptor. Under minix, currently the two calls do the same thing. SEE ALSO reboot(2), sync(8). 4th Berkeley Distribution June 30, 1985 SYNC(2)
