Mounted volume issues in Gnome 2.22
Anyone else notice some weird quirks with the new Gnome 2.22?
When I plug in a flash drive, it automatically gets mounted -- all is good. However, when I remove the flash drive, the hal removes the device from my device list but Gnome does not unmount it. At least, I assume Gnome is to blame.
Also, in Nautilus, when dealing with case-sensitive filenames on a vfat partition, renaming a file to have the same name but in a different case results in a "this name is already in use" error, which strikes me as a very weird situation to be unable to handle, especially since Nautilus was fine with it before the upgrade.
Any work-arounds to either problem?
[edit: 5-2-2008]
Was a bug, not a feature, Gnome upgrades since have fixed both this and other gnome-mount related bugs. I have to say, 2.22 was one *buggy* Gnome release, at least as far as day-in day-out features went.

Re: Mounted volume issues in Gnome 2.22
When you remove your flash drive, do you just pull it out? You should unmount it manually before removing it to make sure data is not still being written to it.
Fustrated Windows users have two options.
1. Resort to the throwing of computers out of windows.

Re: Mounted volume issues in Gnome 2.22
Yes. I just use $ sync and then pull it. Like I said, I'm usually in a hurry. It's faster to type "sync" than to type "sudo umount /media/my-disk" and then enter my password. Not a big deal, really, but it *should* work, which is what bothers me.

Re: Mounted volume issues in Gnome 2.22
can you not just right-click the icon that shows up on the desktop and then click unmount?

Re: Mounted volume issues in Gnome 2.22
I disabled desktop mounted icons in Nautilus. It's too obnoxious to have all mounted volumes popping up.
