well, I'm confused on this one.. If I cp -R 2.6.34(kernel) using the macbook pro I can umount cleanly. But if I do the same for the iMac9,1 I get this issue. At first thought this might be an ext4 sync(and possibly) hardware issue but if it was, then the macbook would portrait similar issues as well(but could be wrong). I did add(hopefully)the firelite device to the workaround list with as many options as possible, but had no difference(added/removed options as well) here is what the patch looks like: From 445d63a80e336408151f4dff7c23fb59a070d246 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin P.
