Don't know if this adds any further value to the discussion, but here's my system stats:
Ubuntu 11.04 Kernel 2.6.38-8-generic i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux ~$ lspci | grep USB 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4) 00:02.2 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4) I can confirm Edmund Crouchs comment on the USB2.0/1.1 issue: Ubuntu's palimpsest tells me my disk is connected with 480 MB/s initially, and with only 12 MB/s after the first safe removal. I have not yet suffered from data loss (my external hard drive holds two ext4 partitions). How could data loss happen anyway, since the write- buffers are flushed on save removal (Am I messing up facts)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624755 Title: to remove a pen drive have to use "safely remove drive " twice -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
