Hi, We have tried the following: - removing a USB mass storage device (USB memory "key") on /dev/sda while accessing /dev/sda via mcopy - removing a USB mass storage device while /dev/sda is mounted.
We have observed the following two different behaviors on different kernels: 1. On a RedHat 2.4.20-8 or -9 kernel, mcopy and umount respectively are killed (mcopy obviously gets a EIO). 2. On other kernels, both processes stay indefinitely in the "D" state, which behavior we DON'T want. Does somebody here know what motivates those different machines/kernels to have such different reactions to the same actions? A kernel patch? Some kernel settings?
