Actually, that's a good point. All that writing to the FAT would use
those flash blocks a lot, which would indeed wear it out.
I trashed a Crucial 1GB drive in a few weeks, until I found out about
this change.
I think this problem should find its way in the official Gentoo docs (if
it isn't

I'm wondering if we should be reporting this to the kernel guys. I
see this on *all* linux systems with kernel 2.6, but I'm not sure
about 2.4. But, I think I'll try enabling some options that Richard
mentioned first.
Kernel guys know it very well. They recently implemented the sync option

Are you mounting with the "sync" option, or no? Try it with, and
without. If you do it without, time what it takes to do the copy, and
unmount. unmount will do the actual sync.
I've noticed that linux in generall is extremely slow with USB devices
sometimes. My external USB2 (ATA 100) drive ge

Hi all,
I have a 2.5in usb HD and 2 external usb2 cases. I've been getting
pretty average performance with a 7200 rpm drive in both cases, but I
just thought this was the way it is.
However, I just did a test:
$ time
cp /usr/portage/distfiles/OOo_2.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
/mnt/usb-storage
