Why should we have a different way to handle large removable devices than we do internal static drives? The scenario you show would also happen to a normal disk drive, because they are async by default (however, things like journaling help this a lot). I don't think this scenario should dictate the resolution of this problem. -- unmounting of removable drives should show a progress dialog https://launchpad.net/bugs/32643 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
