How to Sync properly ?

[Patrick Allaire]

Do you know any of the standard FS that will support sync ??

because for the moment the dirver for my ST falsh will only write 128k at a
time ... I would have to change my hardware to use Intel Flash, to be able
to use JFFS 1 or 2.

If you can see it, but it's not there, it's virtual. 
If you can't see it, but it is there, it's hidden. 
It you can't see it and it isn't there, it's gone.
