Mandrake always mounted USB sticks with sync option; it was effectively noop except for a patch that implemented limited dsync semantic.
Now, when full sync support for FATis in kernel, moutning with sync became real pain. Writing speed dropped from 3MB/s to 30KB/s in my case (and I am not alone).
One idea how to improve situation - continue to mount with dsync (having basically old case) and do frequent sync of filesystem (this culd be started as HAL callout or whatever). Unfortunately, I could not find a way to request a sync (flush) of single mount point or block device. Have I missed something?
TIA
