1. I mount my digitalcamera (USB) via mount_msdosfs 2. My camera goes offline after some time of inactivity 3. Trying to unmount the camera when it went off causes an instantly system reboot. The same happend with an USB harddrive I attach, mount, power off, unmount -> reboot "power off" can be replaced by unplug and replug - unmounting it then causes a reboot too Fix: no idea How-To-Repeat: see description

This very much sound like the known issue with removing the device under a mounted file system which blows up. Currently the only known answer for that is "Don't do that". It's not trivial to fix, but of cause it would be very nice for this to not blow up. There are at least a few other PR's about unmounting a mounted file system which can be found by searching GNATS. Of cause this could be a different issue. -- Simon L. Nielsen
State Changed From-To: open->suspended This is a well-known error: there are underlying structures in the kernel that haven't been made to understand that drives can go away. This assumption has been false for years. However, the work required is going to be quite detailed; no quick workarounds are available (they've been discussed and rejected). So, mark this one as suspended for now.
