Hi,
I use gkrellm with the default plugin systemfile. It allows you mount
and unmount the drives you have specified with a button. The other
advantage is that, if you mount the partition with another tool, gkrellm
will detect it and still can be use to unmount it. Another information
that can

The solution (okay, my solution) is to switch to one of the nifty new
removable USB hard drives. Bigger than a flash drive, sure, but you can
format it EXT2 if you'll never use it on a Windows box, and since what's in
there is an IDE hard disk drive, syncing it won't hurt it worth mentioning.

If you read the contents of the link I provided, you'd see why
sync-mounting a vfat device might be a very bad idea.
Thanks a lot, I missed it.

What you *could* do is add an entry to root's crontab which runs
sync(1) every 15 or 30 seconds. That would *mitigate* the usb stick
timeouts, but would sync *all* drives, not just your thu

When I write to a USB device (stick or mp3 player), I notice that
the writes appear to happen quickly, but actually take a long time to
complete. I assume there is some form of caching going on.
To be safe, I issue a sync command from a terminal and wait for it

The benefit of delaying the writes is that you update the filesystem
data less often and extend the life span of the flash.
