Operating Systems Linux SuSE In KDE Copy completed not always mean files were copied to USB flash drive - how to fix it? Post 302704311 by netwalker on Friday 21st of September 2012 11:00:06 AM

In KDE Copy completed not always mean files were copied to USB flash drive - how to fix it?

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?
