- Is there a way to force the FATs and the directory entry to be updated
- without closing and re-opening a file? I have a data collection system
- that needs to minimize data loss in case of a power failure or other
- crash. Only the data which are written to the file but not yet
- reflected in the FAT and/or directory entry are at risk.
