You could experiment with not using -o sync. Under 2.6.13-rc2 or later it may turn out to be just as reliable.
Alan, I've run some preliminary 2.6.13-rc2 tests, but it seems that key factor is really -o sync.
With -o sync I'm still getting cca 150 kb/s write speed, whereas without -o sync I was able to copy 712000298 bytes in 68 s (including sync and umount commands, to be exact). This ammounts to some awesome 10 MB/s write speed, while so far I've been able to get only cca 4 MB/s (yes, I've been mounting with -o sync all the time until now). So now problem reduces to degraded write speeds with -o sync on kernel > 2.6.11. Is it bug or feature? If the former, should I file a bug, if so, then is it usb-storage, scsi, fat32 or some other issue? Thanks for your insight and comments.
