Correct, you can mount it with the "sync" option and every filesystem write will be written straight away (ie no write cache). However (and this is a pretty big one), this will quite often increase the number of writes quite a bit, which is not good on flash devices that have a rubbish maximum write count, which is exactly why this option is not used in Ubuntu and other distros (indeed it was enabled for a while, but was later removed, istr) Cheers, -- Chris Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.canonical.com -- ubuntu-uk mailing list ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk
