Hi, The comment to the effect that '-o sync' is required to ensure data is written out immediately concerns me. Are you saying that outstanding data is not necessarily flushed to disk before umount returns if '-o sync' is not specified?
If that's the expected behaviour then this remains a serious bug that can cause data loss - the original reporter mounted his drive from the command line and so at least had the option of specifying 'sync', but in my case the drive was mounted automatically during a GNOME session, and there was no opportunity to specify mount options.
