In addition to Florian's tip, you can also remove the delay completely |

by mounting with sync option. This may negatively impact performance. |

Alternatively you can leave it caching as normal and then issue the |
| 10 |
"sync" command when you're done doing your USB operations and it'll |
| 11 |
flush remaining data to the flash drive immediately. (I think |
| 12 |
unmount/eject will do this too.) That's what I usually do. |
