Mount should happen automatically. As default mount options contain sync, you can eject you card whenever no writing is in progress (at least for vfat and other filesystems without dirty flag). But I agree, that feedback is needed. I am not aware of any suitable tool for GPE. I am inclined to reopen bug http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3070 It seems to be a real problem, as many combinations of card & program still write ~60kB/sec with sync mount and ~1500kB/sec with async mount. It was researched in past: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105871 The result is the "flush" mount option, which behaves like "async", but flushes all pending buffers during close(), retaining both the maximal write speed on flash devices and consistent system state after calling close() (or from GUI perspective: When save finishes.) However busybox mount seems to be not yet aware of "flush" mount option, so some code changes would be required. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
