Hi, by default linux mounts the devices with the async option. You can mount using the sync option, so you are sure that the I/O is made synchronously. Just remember: "In case of media with limited number of write cycles (e.g. some flash drives) "sync" may cause life-cycle shortening." (from man 8 mount)
Yes, that's probably it. I don't see "sync" in the mount options, so I'm guessing it's being mounted async. Shouldn't udev be taking care of this for usb drives?
By the way, I'm mounting the drive via udisks (from KDE). So noone else is seeing this?
You can try to edit the udev mount options: # echo 'ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="sync"' > /etc/udev.d/rules.d/99-mount-options.rules Then you must reload udev rules: # udevadm control --reload-rules - -- Timothy Redaelli drizztbsd @ irc.freenode.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJO2LIEAAoJEOcRMG48T4i8s/8H/iAWvcTkqfrwaibdcatunT5w O/eWtnw5cw0xoG9IIu13So+a0EuzvWWly5NcNmd8HVqKlmuHi1gimTeAuwdmuS46 tqDIcaYHUfw7VobLEPinWgLeA6QVYTiKPpqP6oxdDeydXYs16ub1F5Gk3OAxXDUQ C3zQpcfFLVb2wSYYwAoo++USWPApVSAtlfW2mt/7Oz3ggJrhgZN9U+dAWRdLFe/b Kw+nDJCCG3x33nMSLgAfWe4237Bif0Q2OOZfcZ/RFfV7wRiEZ6AtaRknfVvVIBLy u53BrUqid9u7ZV7CpTvU41ka2py1KeHMBAXkIDvwCzAhgtDnQSi/Tp9gTfURdm4= =r74L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
