Thunar notification "USB safe to remove" - staying forever

Hello @linux-aarhus,

under your linked article you replied to this question:

It is.

Please, make this a little clearer to me and excuse my lack in native English:
Did you mean to say: sync is not enough - or - sync is enough? (… to have the data written safely to the storage…)

I started reading through all the linked articles, but I don’t feel experienced enough to start trying different cache handling parameters. If I’d just have to issue another sync manually, I’d be quite happy already. I’ll read further on yet.
(And I have only 4GB RAM, the 16GB-issue will hardly affect me in near future.)

Remains the question of the desktop messages which I have to remove also manually - each - as these don’t wish to fade out. Remove the setting for ‘timeout as requested by application’?

Thank you
