what does it affect then? as it also happens when doing this in the shell (cp...... is done even though data is not completely copied) I am wondering which package should be affected by this bug, too.

Need O_SYNC when copying files. Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: While copying files, the progress bar is wrong in all cases since it is only reporting progress of the kernel to accept the writes into its cache. As a result, it reaches 100% before the copy is actually finished, and then appears to wait for an fsync before going away. Nautilus should use O_SYNC on the destination file so it will be informed of the progress properly.
