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

You may want to take a look at Gnome. In Gnome, removable devices
are handled like this: an icon appears on the desktop when the device
is inserted. When you're done with the device, you click on the icon and

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.

What you *could* do is add an entry to root's crontab which runs

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.

The benefit of delaying the writes is that you update the filesystem

Running sync before umount isn't necessary because
umount invokes sync itself.
