Greetings,
The flushing of buffers for devices plugged into a USB port
is problematic. When writing data to a USB stick it usually took two
attempts to write a directory to a USB stick. The first attempt
didn't show the directory was there when it was removed then plugged
back in.
Gnome does that automatically *provided that* you right-click on the
USB drive icon and select "Unmount" (or was it "Eject"?) from the menu.
Abrupt removing/replugging USB drives will only corrupt your data. Of
course, I may be reading your situation wrong; in that case, please
disregard my post.
Not only gnome: umount the disk (no matter how the umounting is invoked)
should flush all buffers.
