write caching question

["David Shirley" <dave@cs.curtin.edu.au>]

hi all,

recently we have begun to notice that our master server is not in sync with
the slaves.

more specifically it seems to be rolling back to old data eg:

user changes password
master pushes out password change to slave
*master crashes*
when master reboots master has old password.

now my question is this caused by the caching of information in bdb or
the caching of writes done by the disk?

cheers
dave
