[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#583325: thunar: copying progress is misleading because files are not synced to disk

[John Lindgren]

Indeed, I do *not* want to mount the device with "sync", as that
decreases the write speed from 6.5 MB/s to 1.3 MB/s.  I'm going to try
adding an fdatasync() to the Thunar code before close() to see what
effect that has.
