Hi, I saw that it is a common practice to issue sync several times before umount. I know it's a good practice, but is it really necessary?
If I copy a big chuck of file to my USB, then issue umount immediately, will I lost any data? I think Linux will make sure all data are flushed to USB before the umount is successfully finished, but I want a confirm. How about umount swaps? umount really necessary?
