Can someone clarify the exact effect of the async and sync options in
the mount command please.
I have been getting occasional complete machine lockups in my Debian
Testing based Xandros 2.0 machine when copying large amounts of files to
or from my USB 2.0 connected external hard drive. It seems that using
the "sync" mount option fixes the problem.
Thanks, Ian
