I can guarantee I have stopped writing before I read on the host side. I can even unmount before reading. ideally, I would like to "import" my flash memory device into the guest OS side (USB based) but if I can create a "virtual" flash disk and when I'm done modifying it, physically copy the file based image to the physical flash, I would be happy. ---eric
