This is an interesting email: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0505.1/1261.html 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 thumb drive. And I don't know what deleterious effect that a *possible* 120 or 240 updates/hour to the FAT table of plugged-in sticks would have to the life of those sticks. > Somehow windows does this without destroying flash drives, I > wonder what the trick is. Or maybe Windows *does* minimize the life of a thumb drive? - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
