But what would be? Of course people will pull out an USB stick/drive=20 wihtout unmounting, and it should be save anyway if 1) disk write cache=3Doff and/or barrier enabled 2) they wait until the light of the USB stick/drive stops blinking after=20 copying the file onto it. That usually means it's finished. There will be logs about problems, because it's not a nice way to=20 shutdown the filesystem, but it should be safe I'd say. mfg zmi =2D-=20 // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4 --nextPart9027189.6jedKY3HOG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkmP6rMACgkQzhSR9xwSCbQ+twCfVaiIFVwg/nqinyOeU2xHmXSf M5MAnR20A+19pZG0TuvIuZbNsiolPDYh =Cqxz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart9027189.6jedKY3HOG-- --===============5387797638980187275== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs --===============5387797638980187275==--
