Here's my line from fstab: /dev/sdb1 /usb auto noauto,user,rw,exec,sync 0 0 Copied from a forum somewhere. For use of my mp3 player and digi-camera, both formatted vfat. Does 'noauto' cancel 'sync'? This way un/mounting must be done manually. Does that spare me? I haven't noticed any problems yet. Are you saying that the damage is incremental, that it accumulates until a certain point is reached and the device is kaput?
