I was just reading the kernel newbies page about the new features in 2.6.19: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_19
But I know, because I rebuilt my kernel (for the fun of it, and to check out a problem I had), and needed certain patches like for apparmor, etc., that the 10.1 kernel had this patch. I found out when I mounted a USB drive with my self built kernel, when I found the patch and added it to mine, so I would be fairly certain it is already in 10.2, and
And saw: == FAT: Add "-o flush" mount option for fat for removable media devices (USB flash-based memory devices, MP3 players). Mounting with -o flush tells FAT to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but much faster (and not as safe). Think of it like a fast "async" mount (commit) ==
Does anyone know if this is in the SUSE 10.2 kernel?
And if so, if the SUSE automount logic is using this flag instead of -o sync like 10.1 does?
This feature, while nice, will not go to openSUSE 10.2, because it is feature-frozen, and release is near.
It may get included in 10.3 however. --
Thanks, thats what I suspected, but sometimes SUSE backports new features into older kernels, so I was hopeful. I am running 10.2, and the patch is in the kernel. I just checked, and
