In comment #5 I tested the different ways to unmount mentioned in comment #4. However I did not copy any files before unmounting in these various ways.
Then do so. I have no doubts that just unmounting alone works fine for you.
Can you please be a bit more informative? Do you want me to copy a file and then immediately when copying according to KDE is finished unmount from the terminal with only eject? Then what am I supposed to observe, an error message or anything else? Shall I do this as a normal user or as root? Tried to change the mount option to synchronously but now the transfer speed is 18 Kbit/s and copying a 94 MB file shall take 1 hour and 27 minutes according to KDE transfer dialog! Copying the same file from Windows XP takes 5 - 7 minutes or so and the Windows XP transfer file dialog seems to be reliable. You cannot expect an end-user with no technical knowledge to know that the transfer is not finished when KDE says it is!? And You cannot expect an end-user to change mount options to avoid data loss or to unmount from a terminal instead of using the "safe eject" option in the GUI... If the goal is to spread openSUSE to the masses these kind of things must work "out of the box" and be reliable just as it does in Windows XP. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
