If copying files to the Vita on Linux, remember to run "sync"

If copying files to the Vita on Linux, remember to run "sync"

#PSVita #VitaHacksPlus #consolemods

A few major Linux distros afaik have a syncronization bug where moving/copying files isn't over when the UI tells it is. The older the mounted device, the more likely and the sooner the bug happens, the Vita from my experience maybe due to being a 15 y.o. device being one of the worst in that aspect.

The command sync, while it doesn't force the transfer to end sooner, keeps running until the current file transfers to end, being a good way to tell when it's truly complete.

Though maybe worth also avoid moving too much to different devices at once. The sync commands from what I've seen, if a transfer is still shown in the UI, may end sooner. Not entirely sure on the quirks of that, but better safe than adding too many variables.
