Writes to USB sticks are delayed

Description

In 64 Studio 1.0, when dragging and dropping a file to a USB stick in Nautilus, the file is shown as copied, but the actual write does not happen until several seconds afterwards. This means a user could remove the USB stick before the file has finished writing, causing corruption of the copied file.

  • version changed from 2.0 to 1.0

Adding the sync option to your fstab (or automounter / supermount or whatever you like) will fix this behavior but slows down access times.

You can also issue a sync command as root. This will flush the memory buffers for all the mounted file systems to disk.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to wontfix

Users should right click on the memory stick icon and select the unmount option before removing the stick, this syncs the volume. Closing ticket...
