What you *could* do is add an entry to root's crontab which runs sync(1) every 15 or 30 seconds. That would *mitigate* the usb stick timeouts, but would sync *all* drives, not just your thumb drive. And I don't know what deleterious effect that a *possible* 120 or 240 updates/hour to the FAT table of plugged-in sticks would have to the life of those sticks.
Perhaps you should use the "sync" option that "mount" provides? Regards. -- http://arhuaco.org http://emQbit.com
