why do we need this perceieved speed up? if sync causing it to be slower than Windows or MacOS? I think it isn't, and async really is only faster if you make multiple changes to the same files in a "session". how often does async actualy commit to disk anyway? if I make an edit, asave, then wait 30 minutes before saving again, is async still going to increase my flash lifetime? at wait interval won't it?
And what's the answer to this senario? - user is typing a document, saving work as she goes - power goes out (most desktops don't have a UPS) - power comes on and finds all those saves she was doing weren't actualy writting to disk how is this faster? she now has to re-write the whole thing. how is this simpler and more user friendly? -- unmounting of removable drives should show a progress dialog https://launchpad.net/bugs/32643 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
