pen-drive write cache turning off
Hi!
I'm using linux kernel 2.6.11.6, and I have a pendrive (usb 1.0, the slower
one ;). When I copy stuff to it, or delete stuff from it, it happens quickly.
But after I umount it, my cpu usage is getting high, and I can see on my
pendrive's led, that my system is now performing the read/write transactions.
My question is: can I control this write cache thru some /proc file, or with
command line, or mount option, or kernel .config variable, or that's just the
way it is, and I have to wait minutes after umounting my pendrive, so I can
disconnect it?
Thanks!
Daniel
