Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing: You mean sync as
in sync(1) (flush file system buffers), right?

I could not reproduce that behavior on my Debian Sid/powerpc box using
collectd 4.9.1-2 on an ext3 filesystem. Which filesystem do you use?

Could you please post your collectd.conf? Do you receive updates from
other collectd instances using the network plugin?

The only scenario I can think of that could possibly cause such behavior
would be if you write a lot of data to disk, so that the disk is busy
all of the time and cannot keep up with the updates coming in. What kind
of output plugin do you use (rrdtool, csv?)? How many files do you
write?

Cheers,
Sebastian
