Sometimes the disk activity is deferred. Unmounting the filesystem will
trigger it to actually perform the write.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

For the computer security community, the moral is obvious: if you are
designing a system whose functions include providing evidence, it had
better be able to withstand hostile review.
