            Bug ID: 234680
           Summary: file system apparently does not commit changes
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: tootall79 at gmail.com

hard to be succinct:  I am building a process with about 15 static libraries. 
If i make a change to one of them then relink, the link is unpredictable. 
Sometimes it links the previous version of the file.  Today it was all day
trying to convince the linker lldb 6 that this file is NEW use the NEW one not
the OLD one which isn't even on the file system.

I am baffled.  After I took a two hour dinner break the file showed up with the
changes compiled in and linked and ran as expected.  So do I need to take a two
hour break after each build so the file system ufs can commit?

I have been manually executing sync and sudo sync after each build.  Whats up? 
I must be missing something.

The appearance is that the old file is lurking in memory and the linker is
linking to the old image.  Why is that?  Is that by design?

Thanks!
