[opensuse] USB stick not mounted with "sync" option
Hi all, in OpenSUSE 10.1, my removable USB flash memory would be mounted by the hotplug subsystem with the sync option so I could yank it if it weren't flashing. However now that I've gone to 10.2, all my systems mount it without the sync option and I have experienced data loss without realising this. A workaround is to run "sync" as root before yanking, or unmount. Is this a bug or a deliberate change? How can I configure my preferred behaviour?

Pretty sure its deliberate. They now have the -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Please ignore the previous e-mail. I was cleaning out my drafts folder and inadvertently clicked send instead of delete. On 5/16/07, Greg Freemyer <greg.freemyer@gmail.com> wrote:
