• Launchpad Entry: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/auto-unmount-notifications

• Created: 2005-05-16 by NicholasWheeler

• Packages affected: nautilus

Summary

When users remove a device from their computer, such as an SD card, CF card ,any media card, any usb storage device, etc, and the device they removed is -not- unmounted, nautilus should remove the icon from the desktop and pop up a warning to the user not to remove devices without first unmounting them due to possible data loss and/or corruption.

Discussion

• Another possible way would be to use the device-mapper and add a fallback file to store the flushed data which is written at unmount. So we can add a button "Discard data" and wait until the user puts back the device to store the flushed data or clicks "Discard data". -- Johannes2
