"Late Saving" Problem

Hello,

Im working on I.MX28 dev board and using kernel 2.6.35 on it. The problem is that when i created a file and echo some text to it, i can see content of the file in the correct form. After this operations, if i restart my board with poweroff command , i can see file and its content again. But if i restart my board hardly(with reset button), i can see the file but it contains nothing.

How can I solve the "late saving" problem ?

Regards,
Snan

Try
cat >> your_file <<EOF, which should return

type or paste your text there. When you press return, you get another

When you simply type EOF, the whole thing should be saved off.

Do you have a good reason to improperly shut down Linux?

There are other files that this could also happen to. Also, if it happened to be writing to the hard drive while you turned off the power, it might corrupt your filesystem.

MTK358,

my project will be used on the vehicles and it will shut down if the driver stops engine.

If the thread is solved, mark it as solved.

Wouldn't it be better to do a proper shutdown when the driver stops the engine?
