FWIW, fixing this bug requires changes in the kernel.


I'm not sure. I compiled 2.6.18.3 myself and problem persists.

RC class bug, dataloss grade, No 398373

2006-11-28 Thread Mgr. Peter Tuharsky

Hallo,


I don't intend to do any advocacy. I just wish to politely point Your 
attention to the bug 398373 that IMO is critical to be resolved before 
Etch reach stable statute (that is every day closer and many people are 
happy because that, including myself :-)



Best regards

Peter Tuharsky

Thank you for this information, I adjusted the bug severity so that
it occurs on our list of critical bugs.

Why that? AFAICR, umount must not return before not everything is
written down.

I don't think this is always the case.

Of course, if the applet is saying things are OK while umount is still
running, this can be fixed in the applet, but I wonder whether this
would be enough.

I wonder too. But the current state is definitly dangerous, but - many
investigations start with not knowing enough.
