Hey, thanks for testing the patches. (In reply to comment #10) > 1.2. WD - 'Safely remove drive' option in Nautilus spinned-down it, > gnome-disks 'Power off the drive' and 'udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX' > works too. > But there is a little difference - if I enable automount

When the system is running with the WD USB-HDD, please include the output of 'gvfs-mount -li' from a non-root shell in a terminal in the desktop session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in GNOME Disks: Fix Released Status in abstraction for enumerating and managing block devices: Confirmed Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Fedora: Unknown Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: In 12.04 I was able to safely remove USB-stick (make its LED off) and USB-HDD (do a spin down).
