Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: I only saw this once and only for a moment (not long enough to get a screenshot or know what it said exactly), but it's clear what's going on. A while back some code was added to help the user know that it was not yet safe to remove a removable device (like a USB flash disk). It seems that this code was triggered by an unmount operation on my CD (read-only) taking too long. Why it took too long (only by a second I'd guess) is another problem. The real problem is that the progress dialog claimed that data was being written to my disk. This could scare a user. It would have scared me if I hadn't known the background of that feature. Perhaps a little more logic could be put in so that the dialog is not triggered in this situation, or the text could be made more generic. Another thing to think about is that if packet-writing were enabled on the CD drive and I was ejecting a CD-RW then the dialog would have been exactly right and a good thing. Is there some way to tell what the reason for a slow unmount is? -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
