Remounting as read-only should do all the syncing needed. I can't remember if sync actually wait on the harddrive but I'm think not. Then a doubel-sync and a quick power-off could ruin your hard drive. The thing about syncing twice (I heard 3 times) is something with sitting on a 300 baud terminal. That leaves enough time for the harddrive to actually do the syncing. (Try it and you know why it is "ls" and not "dir") -- Makholm d.y.
