I dont think it makes much sense adding more complexity for just for a single case. As Theodore already pointed out, you've got a problem in the usb storage and/or the (OS-side) filesystem, so that would be the first place to look at. Another way would be coding an own overlaying filesystem (via 9P or FUSE) to handle your desired sync magic. BTW: I'm working on MC based on my libmvfs (a small userland VFS library) - this is also a place where such an fs could be plugged in. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
