[Bug 61946] Re: [Edgy Data Loss] umount progress dialog missing

[John Dong]

Sure, look in /etc/hal's configuration files, there already is example
configuration (commented out) for implementing sync policy on removable
devices.

Personally, I think it's a better workaround for the time being to
educate users to issue a "sync" command at the terminal after
unmounting, and waiting for that command to return before yanking out
any media.

This allows users to keep enjoying the apparently faster write speed and
only inconveniences the user at unmount time.
