Umm.. curious... how do expect a computer to eject a usb flash drive? I mention this, because in some cases, for removable media, that makes sense, like cd's or dvd's. There are recommended steps to unplug USB storage devices. http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.html [quote] I always follow the manufacturer's manual or specification whenever it make sense and possible because I know electronic devices are fragile, rigid and obtuse if you don't use them as the way they are designed [/quote] afaict, usb flash drives and usb hard drives are very different things. For the latter, it makes a lot of sense. IMO, this is something that needs to be handled at a lower level though, like hal or DeviceKit. Going to reassign this to DeviceKit. KDE/Solid/Dolphin still uses HAL, not DeviceKit. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
