Hello

Normally when I mount my USB flash drive:

mount -t vfat /dev/sde /mnt/sde

Then copy a large amount of data to it, it copies at a fairly low rate of around 10 MB/s, then when I umount it, it finishes all the copying at a much higher rate of 20 - 25 MB/s.

Is there a way to mount it with no caching initally so that a) all data is copied to the drive straight away and b) umount will be much quicker?

Thanks

Perfect, thanks.

I did search before posting, but didn't find that :)
