thunar automount debugging

Filed under: linux

Usually, if there’s a problem with some aspect of my linux system, i google a little, take a look at the archlinux forums, and usually find a solution pretty fast.
Now i’m trying to deal with a problem of low importance for me - mounting my usb memory stick - and i don’t know what to do. I did not even find where to look. I’m using thunar and xfce. Thunar, as far as i know, uses hal for mounting. The usb key is mounted, but with ’sync’ mode - which means every write goes down to the hardware, instead of being cached. This causes both slow performance and faster death of the memory stick. The mount should be done in ‘async’ mode. Here’s a thread in archlinux forums i opened, but so far no answers there.
Help, anyone?
