I believe eject is the expected functionality of an external USB drive. The solution should be to make eject work well with all USB hard drives, and to make gnome-volume-manager aware of ejects, instead of disabling eject.
Based on the observation that eject works well with those Cyrpress-based usb hard drives in Feisty, and with all USB harddrives in Dapper and Breezy, it is probably a kernel regression introduced in Feisty. Also, I don't think those "eject failure" duplicates are really duplicates of this bug. This bug is about the inconsistent problem in gnome-volume-manager only; i.e., when a USB drive is ejected, it should disppear from the "Computer" window. -- do not eject all USB/Firewire devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63090 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
