Hi all, Is there any way to flush pending IO requests (specificially writes) to a usb flash drive? The reason I ask is that I've aquired a new usb stick and unmounting blocks. If I pull out the device the unmount completes however if I look in the kernel messages then there are lost write requests.

Yep, you just have to issue

Code:

# sync

to flush the filesystem buffers.
