Bug ID: 405979
Summary: Allow to unmount removable devices in addition to
safely remove
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

It is impossible to unmount removable device's partition without removing
device.
I was experimenting with preparing bootable usb stick, so I constantly needed
mount/unmount partitions on usb stick to check bootability with qemu. It is
convenient to mount a partition by just clicking to it, but the problem is that
when you want to unmount it, you only have Safely Remove action. I do not know
how this works internally (probably uses something like eject function of a usb
device), but when you use it, device disappears from Dolphin, and next time you
want to mount it, you should physically replug usb stick to your pc.
Is there a way how I can again "activate" usb stick to be shown in Dolphin
without replugging physically?
I have noticed that for partitions of internal devices another function is
used, which is called Unmount. Can you please implement it also for removable
devices?
Workaround 1:
unmount via terminal. But it becomes uncomfortable.
Workaround 2:
add a second partition to usb stick and never mount it. When you click Safely
Remove on a first partition, then both partitions disappears, but then appears
again after a second.
