Then simple launch sys_sync(), let it finish, *then* do refrigeration. That way sys_sync() does not count to the timelimit. Now, sys_sync() takes too long on some setups. That needs to be fixed, anyway; users don't like to wait for 15 minutes after typing "sync". Do not work around it in refrigerator.
