I found out when I mounted a USB drive with my self built kernel, when I found the patch and added it to mine, so I would be fairly certain it is already in 10.2, and probably came FROM Suse and was just accepted mainline in the kernel with 2.6.19. >> > And saw: >> > == >> > FAT: Add "-o flush" mount option for fat for removable media devices >> > (USB flash-based memory devices, MP3 players).

I am running 10.2, and the patch is in the kernel. I just checked, and the patch was from Chris Mason from SUSE. In this case, I don't think it was a backport, but a SUSE enhancement.
