This seems like the right thing to do, but I'd appreciate a little explanation
of the theory behind this fix. I haven't played around much with udev rules so
far. However, this looks like it might mount *all* disks with the sync
option. Could you explain how it's supposed to work?
I would have thought that, as was mentioned earlier, udev wouldn't be
responsible for mount options. Wouldn't that be handled by udisks somehow?
I've tried a "mount -o remount,sync ...", and that fixes the issue, so it's
just a question of figuring out why USB drives aren't getting the sync option
automatically. It used to work OK until about 3/4 months ago. Maybe a new
udev broke this behaviour on my machine?
