Is there a better command to see if the flush is finished?
The umount should hang till the writes are done. That's the way it always works for me.
Definitely. But so should the sync. Something's odd there. That said, I have never done sync with a device name. ToddAndMargo: was your device name correct? Syncing the wrong devie might well come back instantly.
My bad. As soon as I exited the krusader window inside the stick, I could unmount
Aha, device busy. A hand umount from the command line will complain about that. And lsof will often tell you what's got its hooks in, IIRC. Classic example for me is the stray idle shell cded into the volume.
