Sorry, I was unclear. On every non-unix device, USB keys and drives are updated as soon as possible. There is never a several minute delay before data is written. No unmount, no file browser, it just works.
If I loose data in my checkbook program (KMyMoney), then Ubuntu and not the user is broken. -- unmounting of removable drives should show a progress dialog https://launchpad.net/bugs/32643 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
