Yes, and the funny thing is: even if 11.4 did use it, it would have had no effect! The sync mount option was implemented in version 2011.1.15 and 11.4 uses 2010.10.2 AFAIK.
Huh?
I've seen the effect of the sync option more than 10 years ago, in floppies. It always worked. Not that long ago (9.x?), external media like usb was automounted as sync, and they were very slow. At the time the trick was to umount and then manually mount without sync.
Jan is probably talking about NTFS-3G version? I'll check later when I'll reach the machine. I'd really like to know how this auto-mounting stuff works. It should be triggered by udev rules, I suppose, but I do not know how. Then the desktop auto-mounter should do the rest. I'm using KDE3, so I'll need to understand where and how it is defined there. It is possible that some update happened at the same time when I created encrypted partition, so this created false impression that the problem was triggered by this action. In any case, the workaround with remounting without sync option should work. I was going to try it first.
