Public bug reported: This seems to be hardware manufactor based for the flash drives So the unmount only usb flash & hdd drives get the 'media-removable' icon, the eject only flash drives get the 'drive-removable-media-usb' icon Seems a bit inconsistent, previously all usb removable storage devices were treated the same, eject & safely remove (power down, then eject screen shows 2 flash drives, top one is Sandisk cruzer, (no isofs partition,), bottom one a Hp flash drive Testing 3 other manufacturers, 2 get the eject, 1 gets the unmount so not just Sandisk cruzers's
Would be better to have all get an unmount & safely remove option on all usb storage media attached tail end of syslog from inserting the 2 drives ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gvfs 1.13.0-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.4.0-3.8-generic 3.4.0 Uname: Linux 3.4.0-3-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.1.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Jun 4 11:03:14 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120603) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gvfs UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug quantal running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008563 Title: Some usb flash drives can only be ejected, others only umounted, all usb hdd's only unmounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1008563/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
