Kernel guys know it very well. They recently implemented the sync option |

for FAT filesystems, and this is turned on by default. |

Unluckly, sync is really OK for FAT partitions on an HD, but not for USB |
| 10 |
devices. I hope they will realize soon that not only it degrades |
| 11 |
performance of USB drives, but it also wears out flash memories really fast. |
