I have been looking at this some more. So far I have been able to
get around this problem twice using the following sequence:
umount /dev/hde2
sync
hdparm -f /dev/hde
** pop it out **
** pop into the new laptop **
mount -t ext2 /dev/hde2 /mnt
** do stuff to update /mnt **
umount /dev/hde2
sync
sync
hdparm -f /dev/hde
** pop it out **
** pop into pc110 **
mount -t ext2 /dev/hde2 /mnt
I read up on hdparm, I believe the -f option flushes the buffers for
that disk. So I think what you thought it might was correct.
Hope this info helps.
