Bug Description

When I transmit data to an USB stick or USB harddrive the data is wriiten only when I unmount it.
This is IMHO not very good, the data should be written instantly to the stick, like e.g. Windows does it. Not only is this good when the user unplugs the stick without unmounting, but also to see how long the writing will need (the writing speed seems to be enormously fast, but when I unmount the stick or shutdown the system I've to wait very long).

If the issue is still present in the new release, please attach the following information:

* uname -a > uname-a.log
