that 'flush' is still active.
So my solution is writing a shell script for rox custom menu, in which I
put 'sync && udiskie-umount "$@"'.
I hope there is a better way to solve this.

I tried the solution mentioned by Timothy Redaelli about the udev rules,

I opened a bug a few weeks ago about not being able to change the
default options that udev/udisks has introduced. In my case it was
showexec to noexec.

You can track that bug here, but I'm not too hopeful of it's acceptance
due to "pushback" especially without someone finding the time and
providing diffs to make those changes. I'm surprised when migrating from
older automounters that this functionality was allowed to slip away. I
would have thought it would be part of the specification and
testing/requirements to replace.

I guess the people who care about this type of correctness are using
BSD or Arch and have less say or gentoo and can just recompile.

Thanks Kc! I will track that.
What confused me is that why my udev mount option rule does not work.  
Maybe I didn't make it right.
So now I think i just stick to my solution until a better one. Or using  
devmon instead, 'cause its '-s' option works just fine.

Please excuse my previous rant on this subject, it was sent in error. My

Re: [arch-general] [Bulk] Re: USB Buffering Issue

2011-12-03 Thread Ross Hamblin
And here is an example of what happens to the underlying system when one
sector of the dev community does not listen to or consider the needs of
others when changing or removing legacy(their words not mine)
functionality. In customising and stripping away "unnecessary" stuff
Ubuntu has determined the way it will be in all linux (at least all who
use gnome or kde, or udev/udisk) in the example below. They have removed
features that are not considered useful to Ubuntu without considering
the many outside Ubuntu consquently affecting the many who have
customised it to suit their own cases (supposedly one of the key
benefits of OSS) and now have had their systems broken by this update.
He sums it up nicely  (and without bitterness) at end of his message: "I
guess the people who care about this type of correctness are using
 BSD or Arch and have less say or gentoo and can just recompile"

It doesn't come down to knowledge or experience anymore, it is numbers
that call the shots in that dev world. It is no wonder there are so many
fundamental problems, they are chasing their tails just like MS and
Apple do :) Ubuntu has definitely fallen into that trap, just hope it
doesn't take linux with it :D
