@sumedh Where did you see that mounting a FAT32 device adds the "flush" mount option?
In this moment I have both an ext4 and a ntfs external hdds mounted and running. reading from a "cat /etc/mtab" output none of them has the flush option, but I'm pretty sure that with the ext4 hdd I don't have this problem. I noticed that the NTFS device has "fuseblk" as mount type. Maybe the "problem" is inside fuse. Here is my cat /etc/mtab portion: /dev/sdd1 /media/michele/47D7D336684BC661 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096 0 0 /dev/sdc /media/michele/Backup_Server ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2 0 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1336184 Title: USB flash drive (NTFS) keeps writing for quite a while even after "Eject" completes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1336184/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
