There is no "flush" operation; the "lower" filesystem is never changed, all changes are written to the "upper" filesystem (which in your scenario would be a ramfs). In your scenario, all changes will be lost on reboot. What you describe is basically a cache, which all modern OSes have, with automatic "flush" :) -- Lionel _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
