That doesn't seem to have done anything. Here's the output of the commands mentioned in that thread:

Hmm. Well i think it's definitely related to SD and USB write speeds. The card seems to be timing out before all the data is written. Also because smaller files do not produce the issue. Maybe exclusive to solid state devices as none of my USB harddrives have any problems.

To test; I just attempted to copy a 1.8gb video (~six the size of the ones I've been working with), and left the SD card in for about 15 minutes before trying to unmount it. It unmounted perfectly and the video is playing with no error.

So as a workaround, I can wait 5 - 10 minutes per file copied (avg file size is 300mb), unmount after each individual file, then mount and do the next one, wait, unmount, etc..

Not ideal, but better than not being able to copy at all.

This seems to only happen under crunchbang. I have a smaller eeepc with Mint9 in which I have not replicated the issue. I also have not had the problem at work using XP, or as I mentioned, my previous XP install on this computer.

I can only think it's some kind of software failure. (?) I wonder if it's worth reinstalling my entire system. Really don't want to do that if I can help it though.
Or is there some way to tell crunchbang to wait for longer periods before timing out an unmount request?

I've never heard of anything like that.

For years I have been able to use my docs on both home (OpenOffice) and work computer (MS Word) using the Word 97/2000/XP file format.

Thanks. I knew it was something like that. Just couldn't quite get it to happen.

No that wasn't all of it. I don't know why I left half of it out. Must have been really tired.

Plug in a USB hdd and copy files over. It used to take forever, but these days I only keep music and pictures on my computer, everything else gets burned to backup dvd's or usb sticks shortly after downloading, so it's a much easier task.

Only a few minor changes from last month. Mostly in colour.  I might change colours again soon, I like this one, but I miss green.

Still using Zwopper's wallpaper. Best wallpaper ever. I wonder if there should be a version with the xfce rat for the xfce machines. Actually, I wonder why I haven't seen any wallpapers yet with the xfce rat.

I'm a moderator on a music forum, and everyone always jokes about me being from the future. They also make jokes about me being from Criminal Island.

My NTFS external hdd used to automount, but it doesn't under Statler. Same message that you got.

But I just use pysdm to mount it. Not convenient if you use it often, but I only plug mine in maybe once every two days, so I don't mind.

Watching a dvd with various live clips from Tim Barry, Ben Nichols, Chuck Ragan, Tom Gabel, Brian Fallon and Sundowner.

Good times.

I don't use my pinky fingers for typing, or for guitar playing unless I really need to stretch to hit the riight chord. I am very uncoordinated with my pinky fingers. But I can still get 55-60wpm (just using 6 fingers I mean).

Recently I use Midori exclusively. I love it. But I still think that Iceweasel/Firefox is the better option for a default browser.

People know it, even Windows users, and it has a massive library of 3rd party add-ons. It feels very reliable.

Hmm. I've been wanting to find something like this for a while now as I have folders of wma music that my mp3 player won't play.

But when I run the command I get this:
