KDE 4.2 and USB Mass Storage , does not write data until unmounted

Hi,
I have a Nokia phone that I connect for USB mass storage, and KDE 4.2.2 does not seem to write the data to the device until I unmount.
Is there a way to force the write so it happens right away?  It's annoying because I can't see any progress when it copies the data at unmount.

Later,

That's kinda the way linux does things, not specifically a KDE issue.  It's so that the system only has to write out to the media only once, even if you separately add/delete/move 50 different files.

I think you can run 'sync' and that will flush all the file system buffers to disk.

I'm the type to fling myself headlong through the magical wardrobe, and then incinerate the ornate mahogany portal behind me with a Molotov cocktail.
