I'm pretty sure that's because vfat doesn't support sync mode. If I don't make udev handle device removal, I can unmount it manually, but it freeze too. > well, where do you see any mention of the limitation of the sync mode to > ext*/ufs? i've read the manpage of mount several times, but did not find > anything like the info you mentioned. I have read it on the manual page from debian sid. I have read such a thing on several web sites too, after searching on google, but some other sites tell we can ... so I'm a bit disappointed. you can read that from this manpage too : http://www.netadmintools.com/html/8mount.man.html > the sync option today has effect only for ext2, ext3 and ufs) It would be so good if vfat be aware of sync and if my kernel doesn't oops on device removal. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
