The same problem on Ubuntu Precise: sudo udisks --detach /dev/sdc Detach failed: Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdc USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.7) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: FAILED: No such file or directory (Continuing despite SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure.) STOP UNIT: FAILED: No such file or directory
This error message matches exactly the the error message from Nautilus. Apparently, Unity fails to safely remove the drive too. Though it does not report a problem, it does not power down the device, and it is still available in Nautilus for mounting. Truly removed devices disappear from the list of mountable devices until they are unplugged and plugged again. On my computer USB thumb drives usually do not produce this error. But USB HDD always produce this error. My guess is that HDD contain more than one entry in the partition table, while thumb drives usually have only one, and this somehow matters. -- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udisks/+bug/466575/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
