10 Ulp! Here's my line from fstab:
11
12 /dev/sdb1 /usb auto
13 noauto,user,rw,exec,sync 0 0
14
15 Copied from a forum somewhere. For use of my mp3
16 player and digi-camera, both formatted vfat. Does
17 'noauto' cancel 'sync'? This way un/mounting must be
18 done manually. Does that spare me?

20 I haven't noticed any problems yet. Are you saying
21 that the damage is incremental, that it accumulates
22 until a certain point is reached and the device is
23 kaput?
