Forcible unmount #3
Comments
As I see from: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/udisks/Device.html#Device.FilesystemUnmount force option is available. Only thing I need to decide is how to place it on UI, since current UI was not designed to perform several actions per device. |
My opinion is that the settings flag is enough. The system-important drives are not normally available for unmount, and lazy unmount is not so dangerous for data (but it's really convenient). |
Hm, this means that all drives will be unmounted with force flag. I'm not sure if it that the user expect. |
I think the solution is to ask user if unmount fails if he wants to unmount it forcible (if the force unmount is enabled in options). |
I think that's how it should be working. With an exception that we even don't need a checkbox in that case. |
Sometimes I want to free the mount point without taking care is it used by any app or not. When operating from console, this is usually done by adding -f (for umount) or -z (for FUSE utilities) flag. Sometimes this is also referred as 'Lazy unmount'.
Couldn't we have a flag that makes the tool to unmount without displaying any errors even if the device is busy?
