Hi All,

I connected an Android phone using USB cable to my machine running Linux
(Linux 3.0, 3.2, 3.5). Mounted the SD card in phone in system (phone is
just a pass through I guess). When I choose "Safely Remove" option in
nautilus file manager (gnome's default file manager) I got an error saying

"Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdb
USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5)
SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: OK
STOP UNIT: FAILED: No such file or directory"

and it goes to unmounted state (yes it should go to and this is not a
problem). But I am not able to find the reason for the above error message
pop-up. If I choose "Eject" option then things are fine (I think Eject does
more than un-mounting the file system).

I think "safely remove" tries to cut the power supply to the device but
eject does not do that. Is that correct? If the device cannot be powered
down (due to battery charging) why this option is shown? Is kernel exposing
such capability to the user space?

I am not sure whether this is the correct place to ask this question. If
this is not the correct place please direct me to correct place.

Thanks and Regards,
PrasannaKumar
