Absolutely awful when it's some flash drive that just slows down to nothing at which point you'd rather cancel the tranfer, but you can't, but you also can't unmount because it's busy, so you just accept the loss, unplug and then re-format.

I only know how to add stuff to fstab with sync option, but what about other drives? I don't want to manually mount everything.

You could use a custom udev rule: https://linuxmind.dev/2025/09/02/auto-mount-usb-with-udev-rules/

Not sure if auto-mounting is what you want though.

I don’t want to manually mount everything.

Heh, I literally do -- it's become so automatic it's not even a pain point anymore
