I will probably do that at night. I guess, the drive should not be mounted when I check. My USB drive is mounted in /media, and the file manager has to options a. Mount b.

You said you pulled it out violently. Have you tried a different cable? Different USB Port? The log entries don't seem to indicate that there is a problem reading the drive but more of a communication problem with the drive. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

I can see the portable USB HD (Ext4) in the file manager. The USB drive I pulled the USB cable out is a 1T Backup driver. It contains everything... I pug the drive in another notebook, running the same OS. The drive does not appear. Can pulling out a USB cable damage a partition table.
