Be carreful, I heard that sync has not been implemented with FAT
filesystem. Of course it does not matter if you use anther filesystem.
That's why Mandrake (:/) needed to made a patch on the kernel to make
sync available on fat usb disks. I'm not sure of that, I'm looking into
kernel sources. If this has nothing to do with what you're talking
about, in that case, please forget what I said.
