[Bug 28622] Re: Warning should be displayed when a filesystem is remounted read-only.
Hello, Thanks for reporting this feature request! Unfortunately, at this time Kubuntu does not have the developer manpower needed to implement and maintain many features at the Kubuntu level. This wish would best be reported and tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that it can be implemented by the KDE developers themselves. Once implemented in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the feature is implemented in reaches Kubuntu.

(3) Offer to remedy the error. fsck -a /dev/sdb1 followed by an rw remount would work in many cases. For a small broken FAT file system That can take while so it should have a progress bar. Dosfsck (aka fsck.vfat) is also pretty crappy. You may need to run it up to 3 times to fix corrupted VFAT completely which makes showing progress a bit more annoying. With a worst-case full VFAT having tens of GB worth of small files, it can also take up to something like 1GB of RAM (there are some patches for this, I think one of mine (reported by another person) is still unapplied in Ubuntu Bugzilla). -- Warning should be displayed when a filesystem is remounted read-only. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

This also affects removable media such as USB drives and USB sticks. Since these are brittle devices, with crappy FAT file systems, that often get yanked without unmounting, the problem is fairly common. For example, when this happens: [ 1364.080987] FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sdb1) [ 1364.080990] fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 32499) The filesystem is at this point still shown as rw by mount, and nowhere in the UI is there even an indication that the file system is now read only. Many programs (e.g. OpenOffice) will give very non- informative error messages when they try to write to the file system. Others (e.g. mount) give a proper error message, though. Three things should be done: (1) Pop up a notification informing the user of the problem. (2a) Show the file system as read-only in the UI. Maybe remount it as read-only (such that this is reflected by the output of mount) to accomplish this. Hopefully this would also help some apps to give better error messages. (2b) Even better would be if the drive icon could also get an emblem indicating that there is a problem. (3) Offer to remedy the error. fsck -a /dev/sdb1 followed by an rw remount would work in many cases. For a small broken FAT file system such as a USB stick another reasonable option, in many cases, would be to copy the files off the file system, format it and then copy the files back. -- Warning should be displayed when a filesystem is remounted read-only. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Where does the work for this need to be done? Do we need code to get the information out of the kernel, or code in hal, or just to gnome/gvm?

Re: [Bug 28622] Re: Warning should be displayed when a filesystem is remounted read-only.
It seems like it would be related to HAL since that's all about kernel communication / notification.

Could confirm the importance of such a dialog. Get a FAT32 external media corrupted (accidentally unplugged while writing) and search for a while what was the reason for the mount read only behavior. dmesg was helpfull but it's not a acceptable solution for the common user. I use Ubuntu Hardy. Strange thing, my wife's laptop under breezy has mounted the same file system read-write with no problem. Cannot reproduce now that an fsck has resolved the problem. -- Warning should be displayed when a filesystem is remounted read-only. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
