Windows device disconnect option syncs the device.

Also, please keep in mind that ejecting drive vs. detaching a device is a distinctive operation. I.e. detaching a multi-mode card reader may leave system unable to access newly inserted cards. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, January 23, 2018 21:33:21 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
