Binary package “fdflush” in ubuntu bionic
Flush out-of-date disk buffers
fdflush is a band-aid for floppy (or other) drives with bad disk-change
sensing. fdflush makes the system believe the disk-change switch has been
triggered forcing the system to discard the buffered data.
.
If you have one of these slightly-broken disk drives, you'll have to run
fdflush every time you change a disk.
.
fdflush is useful for computers which might be sleeping when you change
floppies or other removable media.
.
The command "floppycontrol -f" does the same thing, but the
fdutils package is significantly larger; it only uses the
floppy-specific flush ioctl.
.
The command "blockdev --flushbufs" only uses the generic flush ioctl.
