SuSE

I have noticed that when I copy files to flash disk and in UI I see message copy completed in notification area on task bar, usually copy is not completed. So, if I eject the media I loose data.
It is very serious problem because may cause loss of valuable and even critical data.
Moreover, when it displays copy completed message I see files on flash drive, but closer look show their size is 0. Actual copy of files takes more time if I wait without any indication it will complete copy in couple minutes.

My solution is to run sync command from the console every time when I get message copy completed - it solves the problem.

Is there better way to force write files in real time and not when it has a mood for?

Try mounting mount the USB stick with the sync option.

Thank you, fpmurphy.

USB flash drive mounts automatically with following parameters:

Code:

/dev/sdb1 on /media/Cruzer type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks)

This device not mentioned in /etc/auto.master and /etc/fstab files.
Where can I change its auto mount parameters?
