somewhere else I read that I would have to manually sync the device before unplugging it,
but if it's constantly connected, wouldn't it automatically sync on shutdown?

thanks in advance!

yes, the sync mount option is safety precaution for people used to "just unplug" the hdd during operations.

if you run ti like this, no worries. and if you want to unplug, just do "umount /mountpoint" before. umount / reboot / shutdown is of course doing sync automatically.
