[Bug 32643] Re: unmounting of removable drives should show a progress dialog

[Martin Pitt]

@Dietmar: I agree that time is important for people. That's why most of them will certainly appreciate the factor 10 to 100 speedup when using async, and will appreciate not destroying their Flash memory, too.

I agree that the current solution is still suboptimal, but it's the best the current kernel offers. There is progress in that area: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0512.3/0050.html  If that goes into the kernel, then we can offer a much better sync behaviour, but for dapper the current solution has to suffice.

Thanks for your thoughts!
