Package: fam Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss Fam was installed via dependancies of the gnome virtual package. Since it was running it appears to have kept an open handle on one of my compact flash cards when it was attached to the system and thus it was inadvertantly removed without completely unmounting. The unmount command was issued via right-click on the gnome desktop media icon and appeared to have complete successfully (icon no longer on the desktop). However, the media is now completely and utterly unusable in any system as all report that it does not have a partition table and it is impossible to partition the media (all attempts on both Linux and Mac OS X fail).
I've had numerous problems with fam locking removable media incorrectly (as have others judging by the reports). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (400, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages fam depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii portmap 5-9 The RPC portmapper -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
