usb storage device behaviour question.... file transfers
Hi.... sure this can be tuned, think i have read it somewhere before, but cant seem to find the info in google or the wiki....
basically.... once i have plugged a usb stick in my machine, it shows up in pcmanfm.... i then click the drive and it auto mounts.... then find a file i want to transfer to the stick.... drag and drop.... and i get a progress bar.... so far so good.
My issue comes once the progress bar completes at 100%..... i click the eject icon on pcmanfm, it then shows as being ejected, but the light on the stick is still flashing.... and if i try to remount the stick it says that there is still an operation pending..... so when i remove it, the new data is corrupt so obviously, even though the progress bar says its complete, it isnt......
my question is "how do i alter the behaviour of the usb to fully complete all actions instead of backgrounding them?"
thanks

Re: usb storage device behaviour question.... file transfers
Mount the stick with the "flush" mount option, that's what it was created for. The old pcmanfm (which uses hal) supports specifying filesystem-specific mount options, no idea if the new pcmanfm does too.

Perhaps there is a /etc/pcmanfm.conf or the like to define this? Someone should follow-up via some targeted googling.
