nope.
not in the slightest bit: i wish it did!!!
i'm using 2.6.8 [.1-selinux1 from http://sf.net/projects/selinux]

please tell me how i enable such functionality!
i remove a usb media, HAL does a umount -lf, konqueror still has
directory handles open (see report i sent earlier with the little
program opendir.c which duplicates what konqueror does), then HAL
does an ioctl("/dev/sdc1", Block_Re_Read_PARTition) which returns
an error message "Device or Resource Busy".
david (hal developer) considers this to be a serious bug in the
linux kernel because a user action can cause hotplug events to
not be generated.
the above ioctl is supposed to cause a hotplug event that will
allow HAL to remove the volume from its records.
and it can't.

Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from
the same well: Love. If you love yourself and everyone and everything
around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
