You need to edit/create an fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/. The hal docs should have details. The name of the disk default to the volume name, which you can set with mkfs.msdos. As for mounting sync, this is a bad idea with recent kernel implementations of FAT. It writes to the disk so often when saving files in sync that you can destroy a device in a few weeks (I know, I did). -- Neil Bothwick Life is like an analogy.
