[Bug 543617] Re: very slow filesystem I/O

[Theodore Ts'o]

The other place you'll want to drop a sync call is in whatever path gets
used when someone unmounts a file system in Nautilus (or any other
desktop file manager) by clicking on the "eject" icon.   This is the one
that is going to be more visible to users, since a common usage scenario
is someone who drags a whole bunch of files to a USB disk or flash disk,
and then clicks on the eject button --- and we don't want another repeat
of the infamous "USB writes are slow: random performance bug" Launchpad
debacle that goes on and on for years.....  :-)

Thanks for turning this up, I'll try to get the root cause fixed and you
guys can decide if you have time to backport a kernel fix to the Lucid
kernel...
