ca_sync(1)                          CLIX                          ca_sync(1)



  NAME

    ca_sync - Updates modified files from cache file system to an optical disk

  SYNOPSIS

    /bin/ca_sync subordinate_file_system....

  DESCRIPTION

    The ca_sync command writes modified files from the cache file system
    (CAFS) partitions to its respective optical disk.  This command informs
    the kernel to synchronize its modified files in each cache partition to an
    optical disk.

    The ca_sync command may be called to ensure cache file system integrity
    before shutting the system down.  This command flushes all previously
    unwritten cache files out to an optical disk, thus assuring that all file
    modifications up to that point are saved.

    The  ca_sync command may specify a subordinate file system.  If ca_sync is
    issued without specifying a subordinate file system, it synchronizes all
    subordinate file systems.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To synchronize all the subordinate file systems, key in the following
        ca_sync command:

        ca_sync


    2.  To synchronize a specific cache file system, key in the following
        ca_sync command:

        ca_sync /cache/diskA


    3.  To synchronize multiple cache file systems, key in the following
        ca_sync command:

        ca_sync /cache/diskA /cache/diskB /cache/diskC


  NOTES

    Unlike other subordinate file systems, optical disk file system (ODFS)
    files are only synchronized from CAFS if they are closed.

    The cached information is automatically saved as part of the cache
    shutdown procedure.
