sync and fsflush

Original Post:

        <snip>

        Is the syncing of filesystems now a system function rather

        than a cron job? If so, how can I change the frequence or

        even disable it?

        <snip>

There are two tunable parameters:

        tune_f_fsflush

                Takes an integer argument which specifies the frequency

                (in seconds) of the fsflush routine being called

                within the kernel. This affects incremental page writes.

        autoup

                Again takes an integer which specifies the frequency of

                full page writes from memory to disk.
