That's called "caching". It does wonders for system responsiveness, |
8 |
but sucks at fast updates to files. If you're willing to wait while the |
9 |
system writes to the floppy, try... |

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos noauto,user,sync 0 0 |

...in /etc/fstab. I don't know if the "sync" options works with MSDOS |
14 |
filesys, but it's worth a try. Another option is the "sync" command, as |
15 |
in /bin/sync. However, it's a bit heavy-handed because it syncs all |
16 |
mounted partitions. It may be more convenient than unmount+mount. |
