Comment 23 for bug 980307

For the sake of completeness, the point is, that we're talking about a hdd with no mounted partitions. As far as I understand it, any data, which might be in memory needs to be flushed before unmounting (after all you don't loose data when disconnecting an unmounted usb flash drive).

Anyhow, this is definitively a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/524407, which contains also a reference to an upstream report. So marking this one accordingly.
