Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-09-25 21:17:12 UTC
the bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/28622

"When the kernel notices massive data corruption or a hardware failure, it remounts the affected partitions read-only. However, the user is never notified. When random stuff suddenly starts breaking or acting really weird, the user will likeliy reboot the computer and miss an important opportunity to back up valuable files.

Instead, when the kernel remounts a partition r/o a dialog box should pop up saying, "Warning! Disk failure on /home. Please limit your activity to a minimum and copy all valuable files to a more reliable location.""

This should be implemented in the udisks gsd plugin if anywhere. Please file this against udisks in the freedesktop bugzilla.
