Thanks, I will give that a try. What I find strange, however, is that I
lost a few minutes of changes, not just a few seconds. Why were these
changes not written to disk?

I must admit that I have forgotten about the details, but usually, one tries to avoids writes as much as possible. Doing them lazily and in (ordered) batches speeds up I/O a lot, at least with classical hard drives.
With SSDs the situation might be at least a little different, but Haiku doesn't really take that into account yet.

Bye,
