The end result was the sandisk player stuck "writing" until its batteries ran out. I have seen Linux toast my removal USB storage HDDs before like this but wasn't expecting it on sandisk player. To that end I rarely plug-and-pray my USB HDDs into linux machines and typically use FAT32 so I can use them on Windows machines.
For the Sandisk, I had to reformat it (internal function), install it on Windows and all is good. It had connected, downloaded new files, disconnected (using eject on desktop) many times before this fateful event. I dont know if more info can be collected on this since it is rare I see this happen. I could have also not strictly unmounted/ejected the device before removing it from time to time too. But I wanted to follow up on this bug as from a end-users perspective it was a very undesirable fault (whoever is to blame! ;o). -- Sandisk MP3 player now not recognised (device-error, unmounted by usb subsystem) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573268 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
