[Bug 1286918] [NEW] writing to sdcard is unreliable

 

Public bug reported:

- I plugged an SD card into the SD card reader
- I copied a file with Nautilus from my Desktop to the SDCard by dragging and dropping it
=> it seemed to copy fine, with no error message
- When done, I ejected the SDCard by clicking on the "eject"-like button in Nautilus
=> I got a message that said "Writing data. Don't remove the device until finished"
=> then another message which I don't remember exactly but it said it was now ok to remove the device
- I removed the SDCard

After that, the file on the SDcard was 0bytes in sized, which I only
found out when I tried to use it on a smartohone.

That a 92Mb file could not be copied without error is already bad, but
what is absolutely disastrous is that the error didn't even get detected
and no error message was ever shown either when copying the file or when
removing the sd card.
