Title:
"Inappropriate ioctl for device" when ejecting USB flash drive
Status in eject package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
On Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 (eject version 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-9), when
I eject a flash drive using "sudo eject", I get this error message:
not an sg device, or old sg driver
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Previously, I had no problems ejecting using the same version of
eject. The problem came up when I formatted the flash drive so that
it would be encrypted. Also, I change the file system from the
default (FAT32, I think) to NTFS. On another drive which I formatted
to ext4, the same problem occurs -- again, it is now an encrypted file
system.
The drive is successfully unmounted, though, since it no longer
appears under "df". However, it is still "on" since the light is
still on.
"sudo umount" gives no problems.
