Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 live: If usb drive has only one partition: "eject" unmounts the partition. It can later be mounted with "mount". "safely remove device" powers down device. everything works fine.
If usb drive has several partitions: Using "eject" on any partition results in all partitions from this device disappear from the system. Device remain powered up, but no device files present in /dev "safely remove device" still works as it should. Conclusion: If device has several partitions, nautilus fails to unmount one of them, whole device disappears. Name of menu item "eject" is illogical. "unmount" would better fit the corresponding action. -- umount makes device unusable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575271 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
