I believe at least from SUSE 10.0, unless you fiddle with HAL, the usb stick is mountedwith sync. It basically means there is no buffering on the transfer and make sure that each transfer is correctly placed into the USB stick (causes a lot of writes to the FAT table). As a result, if the transfer is complete, e.g. a cp, you can just yank the device out at that time. All the files and updates are already properly written to the USB stick.
In 10.1, there's now a "Mounting" tab, in the device properties. You can specify read only, quiet, synchronous, access time updates, mount point, mount automatically, flushed IO, UTF-8 charset, mount as user and a drop down list for "Short names". -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
