Hello, just to advice you, while waiting for this bug to be correctly fixed, I successfully used the "USB Safe Removal application indicator" on my ubuntu maverick to safely eject an usb drive I have which causes this error (I own others which do not cause this error, so it depends on the device type).
you can download it at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7138409/indicator-usb/indicator.html here a brief howto http://netgator.blogspot.com/2010/10/safely-remove-usb-device-on-ubuntu.html hope it can help users and doesn't make developers lazies! :) Cheers :) ##################################### ubuntu maverick Linux 2.6.35-25-generic my usb drive is a MAXTOR S TM3250820A Disco /dev/sdc: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 byte 255 testine, 63 settori/tracce, 30401 cilindri Unità = cilindri di 16065 * 512 = 8225280 byte Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Identificativo disco: 0x000a3410 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466575 Title: secure remove of external USB-HDD produces error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
