Subject: [PATCH] sl#2132: reduce _FLUSH_TIMEOUT to 5 seconds
Organization: Sugar Labs Foundation
X-Subversion: sucks

This drastically reduces the chance of data loss in the journal on
crash or power failure.

The previous timeout was set to 60 seconds. It is not clear how much
time flushing the journal takes on an XO-1. Until we measure, 5 and 60
are equally unjustified random numbers.
