Hi.
I'm doing this in Fedora, so the file path may not be the same...
Go into /usr/share/hal/90defaultpolicy and open storage-policy.fdi in the edotor of your choice.
Look for a stanza that looks like
Code:
<match key="volume.size" compare_lt="2147483648">
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
and change the .sync values to false.
Dave.
