Hmm... I was considering the costs and benefits of sync mounts. I don't care about the performance hit, as I don't move that much data around. Primarily, I like the fact that I can pull the media out w/o any special action (which sometimes requires that I unlock my screensaver first). But, on the other hand, it's nice to have the media last longer. So, maybe it would be a good idea to have a 'delaysync=60' to force a sync after 60 seconds of inactivity. Unless, there is something else that would do that for me already. Thoughts? -Bart -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/ | ||||||||||
