Hi,
by default linux mounts the devices with the async option.
You can mount using the sync option, so you are sure that the I/O is
made synchronously.
Just remember: "In case of media with limited number of write cycles
(e.g. some flash drives) "sync" may cause life-cycle shortening."
(from man 8 mount)
Yes, that's probably it. I don't see "sync" in the mount options, so I'm
guessing it's being mounted async. Shouldn't udev be taking care of
this for
usb drives?
By the way, I'm mounting the drive via udisks (from KDE). So noone else
is
seeing this?

Hi,I've got same problem here. I'm using xfce with udiskie and rox instead
of thunar for automounting.
With 'rox copy' or 'cp', it just immediately ended. From iotop I can see
that 'flush' is still active.
So my solution is writing a shell script for rox custom menu, in which I
put 'sync && udiskie-umount "$@"'.
I hope there is a better way to solve this.
I tried the solution mentioned by Timothy Redaelli about the udev rules,
but didn't help.
