The option of "safely remove" for removing pen drives is not working

that?
I mean that KDE "safely remove" is not safe in the sense that some
data is lost, specially in the case one has just copied a large (say,
100 Mb) file to the pen drive.

I found this problem in gnome on FC4 and submitted a bug report.
Syncing can still occur after the timeout for the icon. I found this
after copying a large amount of files to a thumbdrive and corrupting the
filesystem. I also found out about fsck.vfat for repairing the file system.

It may be the same bug.
