Document that pre-unmount may not be emitted (1.65 KB, patch)

Description Christian Dywan 2010-12-01 13:07:54 UTC 
To me it came as a bit of a surprise to find out that GIO is not designed to emit pre-unmount signals unless GIO is in fact used to unmount. The documentation states it is always emitted before unmounting, which is not true.

pre-unmount won't trigger if a tool unaware of GIO is used.

preunmount won't trigger with network shares.
