What ever happened to the patch proposed last year in this thread: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0512.3/0050.html It doesn't appear to have been merged into the kernel. Was it forgotten about? This seems to be a rather important change given the current brokenness with removable media. Users expect to be able to unplug their usb memory stick after they save their documents and exit the application. They can not do this without corruption due to aggressive caching, and the sync mount option causes far too many writes, killing performance and in some cases, destroying media by prematurely wearing out the fat sectors. Can we get this patch revived? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
