Or can the writing to the msdosfs be flushed everytime (if not adjusted that way per se)? > device scbus > device da > device pass > > I am successfully running this under -current, btw. > > Also, be sure to umount the stick manually before removing it or it could be > fatal (to the kernel, not you)!
