Summary: Calling sync on large filesystems when not always
necessary
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
ReportedBy: orionrobots at gmail.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Estimated Hours: 0.0
When using build root to cross compile for other devices, especially when doing
many builds (multiple targets), on a CI system with 10s of gigs of ram and many
intermediate targets, then sync is not really desirable here.
The makedevs step makes a call to /bin/sync.
I am suggesting a "--nosync" be introduced so buildroot will not sync the
drives then? While of course preserving existing behaviour for the majority
that don't find any problems.
