OK, I just made that change http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/commit/?id=fcdd8f48b6ac9b1b6da82fdf5f59230fc2ea6feb
and tested it with a couple of different units. Notes - One of my devices (bus-powered) does not accept the START STOP UNIT command so we just continue if it fails. That is, this patch should not break existing behavior. - Another device (not bus-powered) used to spin down a couple of seconds after removing power to the USB port. With this patch it spins down immediately. (Which is actually nicer.) - Still works on USB sticks etc. - I didn't add SCSI SYNCHRONIZE CACHE as that command failed on all my devices. I also don't think it's necessary as the device drivers will issue something like this in part of the fsync(2) call that we do before this. Please test if the patch works and report back - thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239087 Title: Safely remove is not working (or broken) in Gnome Disks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/1239087/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
