Hello Graham,

The Disk utility (palimpsest) tool is able scan disks and report if you disk is damaged. You can scan your disks using this tool to verify that your media has no bad blocks. Unfortunately, I do not see this as a bug in usb-creator.

Could you please provide the method you use to manually clear filesystem cache and propose what you would like to see usb-creator do in the future. The current process is to format the disk which unmounts it, formats it as FAT32, and mounts it. I am not sure why you would be requesting that usb-creator should do this when it seems to be what it already does.
