To be safe, I issue a sync command from a terminal and wait for it
(up to 15 minutes!) to complete before unmounting the drive.
The benefit of delaying the writes is that you update the filesystem
data less often and extend the life span of the flash.
You can adjust the interval at which sync pushes changes to disk but I
don't know if this applies for the usb mass storage driver,..
Maybe you could create a cpmp3 script that works like cp but syncs
between files?? Running sync before umount isn't necessary because
umount invokes sync itself.
