(Hmm, the drives have can_stop=1 start_stop_type=shutdown
so everything should be good. My guess is that it's the NTFS partition that is the culprit. Specifically, unmounting it via udisks somehow fails.) If you manually unmount the partitions, does powering down the drive work? Specifically, try this 1. Unmount all partitions using Disks - if that fails, try 'umount /dev/sdXN' from a terminal. Does that work? 2. Press the "Power off" button in Disks when everything has been unmounted. Does that work? Also, please include all messages from udisks from syslog (e.g. /var/log/messages or similar) when pressing the "Power off" button in Disks. It should contain some useful info. -- 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
