Synchronizing the file system cache with disk

This task describes how to write the information stored in the file system memory buffer (cache) to the disk immediately rather than wait for the system to write it at a specified interval. This action synchronizes the information in the file system cache with the information stored on the disk.

To Write Information in the File System Memory to Disk

On the file system for which you want to search for files, perform the following steps.

  1. Access the FILESYSTEM application menu as described in Accessing-KM-Commands-and-InfoBoxes.
  2. Select Maintenance > Sync. PATROL writes the memory buffer to disk.
