Bug ID: 448171
Summary: Send warning notification when device is unsafely
removed while async IO operations were still in
progress
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This is an alternative to fixing Bug 281270, which may not be fixable at the
KIO level.
When asynchronous file IO to removable devices is used, it's possible for the
user to unplug a removable device without clicking "unmount" in the UI. In this
case, any in progress background sync jobs will die and the files being
transferred will be corrupted and destroyed.
KIO should detect this condition and display a critical notification saying
something like:
> Possible data loss
>
> The device was unplugged without unmounting it, which might have caused data
> loss.
> Plug it back in and [move, copy] the files again, and manually unmount the
> disk
> before unplugging it.
It should only do this when async IO is being used and there were actually any
in progress transfers when the device disappeared. In all other cases,
unplugging without umounting is harmless, so we shouldn't badger the user
unnecessarily.
