Referring to discussion from http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0505.1/1261.html it may be indedd very bad idea to use usbmount with flash discs, vfat and sync option. It seems that sync option is somehow implemented also with vfat but using it will cause poor qulaity flash memories to destroy themselves. Thus warning would be very very very very needed!
However usbmount is still usefull utility in my opinion with vfat flashes since it will do great job mounting flash memories. If one is having ie. n-in-1 card reader and multiple usb sticks it is annoying to check what device files will be assigned to what memory and do manual mounting. Just need to use pumount ; sync or some other utility to do unmounting (like xfce4-mount-plugin which is great combination with usbmount and pumount).
