[arch-general] USB Buffering Issue

[Martin]

Yes, it already is. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273792

I find this really annoying. The solutions I've found is to use devmon  
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45842) instead of KDE's  
automounting system, and configured it to mount FAT32 with flush option.  
This completely solves the problem to me.
