Package: gnome-volume-manager
Version: 1.5.15-1
Severity: important
Hi,
When unmounting a removable device by right-clicking on its icon in Nautilus
and choosing "umount volume", Gnome immediately removes the icon from the
desktop and marks the device as uumounted in the "Computer" window of Nautilus
as if umount had completed.
umount is actually still running in the background and may require to wait
dozens of seconds before the device can be unplugged safely. This leads to
dramatic data loss since one can expect Gnome to report umount completion
safely.
When your USB drive does not have a light to indicate that some data is being
transfered, the only way to be sure that the device can be unplugged safely
is to look for the mountpoint entry in the output of 'mount'. Note that the
output of /proc/mounts is not safe since the kernel removes the entry from
there when umount starts, not when it completes. I am glad that Debian does
not define /etc/mtab as a symlink to /proc/mounts as some distrib do, since
the output of 'mount' would not be safe either.
Gnome should wait until umount has returned, not until umount has started.
Thanks,
Brice

I haven't seen any problem since the progress bar has been added during
unmount. Since the other related bugs have been closed by nautilus
upload, I am closing this one too (I was the initial submitter).
Thanks,
Brice
