Hi Boris, After you're convinced all data operations have stopped, udiskctl is useful to logically detach the drive, one last step before physically powering off. e.g udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdc
>From "man udisksctl" power-off Arranges for the drive to be safely removed and powered off. On the OS side this includes ensuring that no process is using the drive, then requesting that in-flight buffers and caches are committed to stable storage. -- Guy Gold _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
