Mount Sd Card Without Sync?
« on: June 15, 2005, 01:56:10 am »
I've tried seaching the archives but couldn't find a definitive answer.

Does anyone mount their sd card with no sync specified in fstab? With 3.5.3 it seems writes to my SD card are painfully slow. I was thinking about turning sync off but I'm worried about reliability issues. Anyone have experience with this?

This is just begging for data loss.

Actually I'm using "async" since the OZ 3.5.1-pre days w/o much problems.

Well it's not a problem if you eject cleanly, etc...
