From 5eb595b341b207d36bb6342b54104c6cb122b7bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Zickus Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 13:59:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 67/88] ppc64le sync mkconfig to disk (#1212114) If creating a new grub2 entry using grub2-mkconfig, the entry is not immediately sync'd to disk. If a crash happens before the writeback, the subsequent reboot fails because the grub2.cfg is corrupted. Address this by forcing all the changes (mainly the fs meta data) to disk before finishing the grub2 conf changes. Tested by 'grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub22.cfg; echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger'. Before, the machine would panic and on reboot be stuck without a grub.cfg to read. After, works as expected.
