Comment:
hm.  so "wontfix" because of performance and flash wear issues?  then
why the 1Gig threashold for disabling sync?  see
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/33608

so the new bug is:  Nautilus does not show sync progress when unmounting
a usb disk thus causing data loss because the user thinks the disks has
been unmounted and unplugs the drive.

eitherway, you can edit the hal fdi and disable, or just modify this
undesirable behaviour on your system.
