So, not sure about the "grip" :)
I don't think that this is what's happening, because the system
shouldn't be able to mount the drive until fsck is finished. It's
always best to run fsck when the partition isn't mounted, especially
if you expect it to need repair and I'd expect mount to fail if you
try to run mount something that's getting fscked.
I wonder if I should open a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com
and/or at bugzilla.kernel.org.
Next time this happens, find out if fsck is running. Run this:
ps aux | grep fsck | grep -v grep
in a terminal (no need for root) and if you get no response except a
prompt, fsck isn't running somewhere.
Thanx Joe. I just replied to Rick. It was my fault, but my fault was
ably assisted by the
system not popping a banner saying the the device was not unmounted
cleanly. The message only
went into the message buffer, and never appears on the GUI file browser.
And unfortunately,
no automagic fsck was running.
