[sheepdog-users] .stale directory was removed after cluster format

in the `cluster_make_fs` function(sheep/ops.c)..

sheep first calls sd_store->format(), then calls sd_store->init().
It seems that sheep first remove the .stale dir, then create the .stale dir.
am I right?

then I do some tests about cluster format.
first format the cluster  and then check whether .stale dir is created.
during my test. sometimes .stale is created, sometimes is not.
which is very odd.


then I add sync() function between `format()` and `init()`, and it seems
it worked. every time cluster format creates .stale dir.
