From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What annoys me is that this was an issue as far back as the early 90's. On DOS and Windows 3.11. It's such an annoyance that I don't get how this problem still exist?!
If the unmount function can see if write is finished, a file copy function should obviously be able to see it'¨s own copy state.
