I've modified my CVSup script (the cvs repo is on a r/o partition, to
save me fscking a half million inodes) to end with a nice pretty
"sync;sync;sync ; sleep 2 ; sync;sync ; sleep 1 ; sync" sequence
before it remounts the partition r/o. Unmounting I s'pose would work
to (and I do that on my box that's a little more -current where I
_can't_ mount -u many partitions), though that doesn't work quite so
well for partition like /...
