In KDE Copy completed not always mean files were copied to USB flash drive - how to fix it?

http://www.unix.com – I have noticed that when I copy files to flash disk and in UI I see message copy completed in notification area on task bar, usually copy is not completed. So, if I eject the media I loose data. It is very serious problem because may cause loss of valuable and even critical data. Moreover, when it displays copy completed message I see files on flash drive, but closer look show their size is 0. Actual copy of files takes more time if I wait without any indication it will complete copy in couple minutes. My solution is to run sync command from the console every time when I get message copy (HowTos)

Finding corrupted files 33 weeks 9 hours ago

I have a directory that have zillions of files. As soon as I try to copy this directory, I receive a message that a file could not be copied (corrupt ?) and the copy stops.

I'm trying to keep two java source trees in sync, but they've got different package names, so I'm building a script to copy from one tree to the other.

When copying large (or even files of a few KB) to an sd card from ubuntu 10.10, the files appear to be there but when i access the card from another device, the files are either missing or 0 bytes in size.

I suspect that the problem is that it takes time for the files to copy to the card and I'm taking it out too soon but there is no progress bar - im just doing it from cmd line.
