You can 'work around' this by mounting it 'sync', which I used to do for my mp3 player. This of course kills responsiveness of moving things onto it, but for my 'scriptflow' this was preferable.

why all this? one can just let the card automount, then "mv xxx /media/card; sync; eject /dev/sdX" and it's sync'ed and eject'ed... :-D

Having messed up on several occasions thanks to dirty buffers, seeing as I always have an open konsole, I just unmount in dolphin, then sync in konsole. Seems to work okay - when sync returns the data is flushed.

Cheers,
Wol
