I do not use any file system on it, its a raw write disk. I however wish to use the linux buffer caching system to implement it. I require to sync my data(buffer) on the disk everytime I wish to; i.e., I should have complete control over the buffer and should be able to sync my data with the disk when I wish to. Could someone tell me how this could be done?
