Hi,
There's a fate entry (#300647, sorry for those who cannot have access to it -- I'm asking if it can be made public) to have the desktop unmount all partitions from USB (& firewire) devices when the computer is suspended because unloading usb-storage would fail.
My understanding of all this is... not perfect :-) So here are a few questions and hopefully the replies will help me:
+ can kernel people tell if this is still a potential issue?
No, it should not be.
+ if we need to do this, shouldn't the kernel just do it anyway? (or maybe hal -- it seems weird to me to have all desktops implement this)
+ what can we do for processes that are using files on those partitions?
Just leave it alone, we now have CONFIG_USB_PERSIST which should handle this just fine. usb-storage should not be unloaded anymore in recent kernels. That fate entry should be rejected, do you want me to go do that? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
