Bug#704482: #704482 general: file copy over kde gui or cp to an usb devices (tried fat/ext3) is showen as finshed while it's still copying



Hello thx to your repley

"You marked the bug with "patch" but I don't see any patch, I assume this was an error."
yes you are right, sorry for that :(

"Severity: critical"
ok i see i overdid it just saw datalost but i think it means it in an other content.

"Nothing in "man cp" guarantees that the file has been copied to the disk when the command exits."
i know that there is no guarantees but at the bash normaly when the prompt comes back, the command is fineshed or? which in this case isn't
Couldn't this make bad behaivors when i write for example bash scripts which makes further actions with the file?

I'm a little bit curios that you don't see that kde and cp is showing that they have fineshed the file but it isn't. I think this behaivor wasn't in the last two stables (maybe i had luck?) but i never used some unmount or save remove.There was no need do it., ok i can do it now.
If i unmount there is an error when its coping what is more or less ok:
"Unmount failed: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
but at the kde eject there is no feedback, you can not say is it now unmounted or not.

"I think it would be nice to have a progress bar that would show the actual data transfer."
But if it is at those both are not showing the correct state, doesn't that mean that this will be at any data copying over usb?. So it's something more generall then konquer? (which i do not use, i use Dolphin)

thanks for your answers
Best regards
