Public bug reported:
Use case: As a user of hot swap-able SATA disks using a Harddrive Riser
over eSATA. I need a safe, easy and convenient way to remove the hot
swap-able SATA disk without rebooting and without having to go to the
command line.
When attempting to eject an harddisk or a solid state disk using the eject
button in "Gnome Disk Utility" it issues the 'eject' command which results in
an IOCTL error.
The correct commands the eject button in the GUI should issue to eject a SATA
HDD or SSD are:
# where X is the drive letter of the drive being worked with
# -Y Put drive to sleep
sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sdX
# remove the device from the kernel
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/delete'
Please see the screen shots for the error.
This should be an easy fix (20 minutes) for someone who is good a programmer.
