For USB 3.0 Disks, Across Ubuntu Distros..... This surely needs to have more priority.
Unless this is fixed, We noobs might simply give up on Ubuntu/Linux altogether. My Machine: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, NVidia Chipset, Asus X552C Device: Seagate BackupPlus 1 TB USB POwered Ext Hard disk Issue: Ext HDD keeps spinning(I place the palm below Ext HDD & feel the spinning is still On), Light keeps glowing, Nautilus Left Side Panel shows the disk is till mounted. mount will list all mounted disks.. I used & found Seagate HDD is mounted as /dev/sdb1 I installed udisks using apt-get & ran these 2 commands in terminal. udisks --unmount /dev/sdb1 udisks --detach /dev/sdb Caution***not udisks --detach /dev/sdb1, It is /dev/sdb Now, the Nautilus Left Side Panel doesn't show the mounted icon for the Ext HDD, but the spinning is still on. I tried sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1 I get the error, umount2: Invalid argument umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted My Problem is I've already lost 2 different 1 TB HDD's while working on Ubuntu. Data Retrieval costs are upwards of $3.5 per GB in Bangalore (200 INR per GB at SP Road....) Does anyone have a solution..... Note: I've had the Ext HDD attached to the laptop from past 7 days & spinning is still On. I'm at end of my wits & can't afford to loose the data in this HDD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792085 Title: Automatic remount of safely removed usb 3.0 drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/792085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
