The other place you'll want to drop a sync call is in whatever path gets used when someone unmounts a file system in Nautilus (or any other desktop file manager) by clicking on the "eject" icon. This is the one that is going to be more visible to users, since a common usage scenario is someone who drags a whole bunch of files to a USB disk or flash disk, and then clicks on the eject button --- and we don't want another repeat of the infamous "USB writes are slow: random performance bug" Launchpad debacle that goes on and on for years..... :-)
