Re: USB 3 drives and remounting
Hi flocculant, Have you checked the device status through the lsblk command? If you are done with the device, you might have to enter a umount command for the device before it is fully removable without data loss. I'm wary of file managers' ability to mount/unmount drives. Better to set up a simple startup script which mounts all the drives at the beginning. It's a cinch then to umount drives as they are not needed. Anything that could result in data loss is best entrusted to a terminal.

Hear me out. Teo teo's concerns about LTS are not trollish. Users who elect to run LTS rather than incremental releases must, at some point, maintain the system with more current debs which approximate the incremental upgrades. I always follow the incremental upgrades, as I'd rather fix a version which is farther along in development than LTS. I never fully understood why a individual user would use LTS. LTS is better suited to a circumstance where uniformity is prized, such as small businesses, corporations, libraries etc. Teo teo is certainly right that an LTS plan of action has significant deficits.

Re: Introduction
Hi Rob, Welcome aboard! Seems like you have a lot more experience than me. I hope to learn some scripting ideas from you in the coming months.
