Well, given that it is a pretty noticeable bug, and a very annoying one when you
notice it, and that the only users complaining about this bug now are Mint
users, I would believe that Ubuntu has it fixed, even in 10.04 LTS, but perhaps
not in Mint.

And Ubuntu 10.04 LTS had it fixed since May 9th, which is 10 days after release,
and also 10 days after this bug was reported (it was reported on release date).

10 days is too long? Really? If you used Ubuntu, you should have only
encountered this once, if at all, since fsck only happens every 30 days or after
a set number of mounts I can't remember. Unless you do reboot your computer that
many times in a day..

Then you can use this as basis to report about Mint's failures to your clients,
but please keep in mind that Ubuntu is not Mint.
