For USB 3.0 Disks, Across Ubuntu Distros..... This surely needs to have more priority.
Unless this is fixed, We noobs might simply give up on Ubuntu/Linux altogether. My Machine: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, NVidia Chipset, Asus X552C Device: Seagate BackupPlus 1 TB USB POwered Ext Hard disk Issue: Ext HDD keeps spinning(I place the palm below Ext HDD & feel the spinning is still On), Light keeps glowing, Nautilus Left Side Panel shows the disk is till mounted. mount will list all mounted disks.. I used & found Seagate HDD is mounted as /dev/sdb1 I installed udisks using apt-get & ran these 2 commands in terminal. udisks --unmount /dev/sdb1 udisks --detach /dev/sdb Caution***not udisks --detach /dev/sdb1, It is /dev/sdb Now, the Nautilus Left Side Panel doesn't show the mounted icon for the Ext HDD, but the spinning is still on. I tried sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1 I get the error, umount2: Invalid argument umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted My Problem is I've already lost 2 different 1 TB HDD's while working on Ubuntu. Data Retrieval costs are upwards of $3.5 per GB in Bangalore (200 INR per GB at SP Road....) Does anyone have a solution..... Note: I've had the Ext HDD attached to the laptop from past 7 days & spinning is still On. I'm at end of my wits & can't afford to loose the data in this HDD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792085 Title: Automatic remount of safely removed usb 3.0 drive Status in Nautilus: New Status in thunar: Unknown Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in thunar package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in udev package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus When I choose "Safely remove drive" context menu entry for an external USB drive within a nautilus window or directly clicking on the desktop icon, after about 10 seconds the drive is automatically remounted and a Nautilus window showing the root folder opens. I have noticed that similar already happened with a very old Ubuntu version - Bug #110589 and as that is so long time ago I thought it is better to open a new bug. Reason of the problem might even be completely different.
