Bug Description
runing Breezy when I plug in a 1gig or larger USB flash drive "mount" shows like:
/dev/sda1 on /media/Kingston type vfat (rw,noexec,
note no sync or notaime options as are commonly recomended for flash drives. the culprit seems to be that in /etc/hal/
with 2 and 4 gig USB drives becomming more common this default needs changed, or needs to be configable on the system.
Personaly, I'd rather have all usb storage devices sync reguardless of size or actual media, it's common to use even usb HDD'd in a way where you plug in, copy files, and eject. It's not helpfull to eject and have to wait several minutes for the disk to sync with no status message. I'd much rather wait a little longer for the copy process itself to finish and know that its done when it says it is done.
This looks like a dupe of Bug 32643 .
