Description Frank Ridderbusch 2009-10-21 09:02:34 UTC

exo-0.3.105 introduced a bug, which causes USB removable storage devices to be mounted with the "sync" option, which in turn causes very low transfer rates.

Ex: /dev/sdb1 on /media/SONYSTICK type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,uhelper=hal,uid=208,shortname=winnt)

The developer provides the appropriate patch in this message:
http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfce/2009-October/026060.html

I prepare this minimal patch for the ebuild:
