Created attachment 93492 log-files for my WD-HDD (Ubuntu 14.04 with udisks1 and udisks2)
Thank you for reply, David. >Your testing with udisks1 is on an older version of Ubuntu (12.04 vs. 14.04) >isn't it? If so, any chance you can install the udisks1 package on the same OS >as you tested with udisks2? The packages are parallel-installable (and called >'udisks' and 'udisks2') so it should be as simple as 'apt-get install udisks' >and then run "udisks --detach /dev/sdX". I have already installed udisks1 (1.0.4-8ubuntu1) on Ubuntu 14.04 and it works as expected on all my drives if I unmount all partitions manually (from console, Nautilus or Disks - it does not matter). >I'm asking for this because I think this is due to a kernel and/or ntfs-3g >problem. For me it seems that we have timing/race issue in udisks2. >Another thing to try would be to see if it happens if the filesystem type is >*not* ntfs, e.g. try with ext4. (I realize this may not be possible as you may >not want to reformat the disk.) I have 500Gb of data on my NTFS partition, so I do not want to reformat my HDD. I'm sorry for this. >To recap, the only difference now from udisks1 is that udisks2 does not send >SYNCHRONIZE CACHE before START STOP UNIT (it didn't work on any of my devices >when I make the recent udisks2 changes). If it turns out that udisks1 works as >expected on 14.04, I will try to add this change to see if it makes the >difference... If there are no other differences - please add SYNCHRONIZE CACHE, I'm ready to do a test and report back. I prepared an archive of log-files for my WD-HDD on Ubuntu 14.04 with udisks1 and udisks2 installed. The log-files are: "tailf /var/log/syslog", "gvfs-mount -o", "udisksctl monitor", "udisks --monitor-detail". The test-cases are: 1. udisks2 Safely remove from Disks (mounted) = FAIL - not spinned down connect, auto-mount by Nautilus, clicked Power off in Disks, disconnect 2. udisks2 Safely remove from Disks (unmounted) = SUCCESS - spinned down connect auto-mount by Nautilus, unmount in Nautilus, clicked Safely remove drive in Nautilus, disconnect 3. udisks2 Safely remove from Nautilus (mounted) FAIL - not spinned down connect, auto-mount by Nautilus, clicked Safely remove drive in Nautilus, disconnect 4. udisks2 Safely remove from Nautilus (unmounted) = SUCCESS - spinned down connect, auto-mount by Nautilus, unmount in Nautilus, clicked Safely remove drive in Nautilus, disconnect 5. udisks --detach Safely remove (unmounted) = SUCCESS - spinned down connect, auto-mount by Nautilus, unmount in Nautilus, sent "udisks --detach /dev/sdX" in console, disconnect On FAIL-cases there are interesting lines in "udisks --monitor-detail" (udisks:2365): udisks-WARNING **: Couldn't call GetAll() to get properties for /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc2: Method "GetAll" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist may be it cause problems. I do not know. I'm ready to test your new commits. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in 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 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
