Bug ID: 453894 Summary: Eject Symbol next to mount drives can lead to catastrophic data failures! Product: dolphin Version: 22.04.0 Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: panels: folders Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: c3i8zv...@mozmail.com CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Hi everyone, I don't know who and why this has been green flagged, but the newest addition of an eject button next to mounted drives (not USB drives, hard drives! Meaning all network folders, all additional mounted volumes!) is an terrible idea! It is really mindbuffling dangerous. A normal user - like my mom - could (has) accidently click on them way, way to easily. For there is no dialogue of confirmation (!), the drive gets onhooked immediately. An ongoing copy process could lead to data corruption. Running services relying on the drive could lead to data corruption. Imagine for example having a syncing software running. Like synology drive? When the drive is unmounted without shutting it down beforehand, the syncing software might (I know it does, it is badly written) interpret the missing drive as deleted files, meaning, it deletes the files on the synced target. And so on and so on. This should definetly not be there for hard drives and if, it needs a confirmation for unmounts. Cheers and have a nice day. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
