As there is no option to "remove" a hard disk drive in dolphin or the usual USB notifier, I unmounted all partitions and sent the device to sleep (gnome-disks), which causes a spin-down of the drive itself. Then one can remove the disk in a relatively safe manner.
The message did not appear again after the smartmontools command above, and it also did not appear after a reboot. So I reckon restarting smartmoontools via a user-friendly button is enough to get rid of the annoyance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634990 Title: Hard Disk Health warning for removed HDD (Ultrabay) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smartmontools/+bug/1634990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
