    disk cache!
    essentially, i think linux doesn’t write to the disk until you eject it, for situations like a constantly updating file. might be wrong

      yep, caching. writing to flash memory used to be painfully slow. this issue has existed with windows since usb storage was invented. early on, windows wouldnt even assign a drive letter correctly (a winworld requirement)… you had to do it manually. so painful.
