Hi Phil

Dismounting and remounting the filesystem after every sspec_write() is a good solution but if I am running a FTP server simultaneously the dismounting will interrupt any ongoing file transfer. Before dismounting I would like to check if there is any file being transfered and wait with the mounting process until the transfer is complete.

Is there any way to check if there has been any activity on the FTP server during the ftp_tick() so I can safely dismount the filesystem without losing data?
