"sync" option in fstab for USB memory stick

[John Wendel]

Wrote a 26 MB file (using cp) to my Sandisk minicruiser (USB 2.0) memory 
stick, it took 17 minutes! Seemed to be a LITTLE SLOW :), so I started 
looking for the reason and found it in the fstab entry, it was the 
"sync" option.

When I mounted the stick without the sync option the cp + a single sync 
to flush the data to the device took 10 seconds.

Can someone tell me how to change the automagically generated fstab entry?

Thanks,

John
