[Bug 1067876] Re: [quantal] Missing Safely Remove Drive and Eject options from context menu. Only have Unmount.

2012-11-28 Thread tecknomage
The function of Safely Remove is to remove POWER from USB connected
devices.

Unplugging any device while powered up is UNSAFE!  This bug is not about
unmounting a USB drive/stick.

If Windoz has no problem with Safely Remove are we saying Ubuntu
cannot do it?  Really?

2012-11-23 Thread Jano
Why is it a Won't fix when there are workarounds avaible?
http://nikunjlahoti.com/2012/11/09/missing-safely-remove-in-ubuntu-12-10/
Couldn't it be fixed this way? I think this is a serious bug for a operating 
system. It made me change back to 12.04 because i don't want to lose my data 
when I disconnect my Harddrive while its still used and spinning!

[Bug 1067876] Re: [quantal] Missing Safely Remove Drive and Eject options from context menu. Only have Unmount.

2012-11-22 Thread Dražen Lučanin
Also, the safely remove option would recognise if the external drive had
multiple partitions and offer to remove the master device if I remember
correctly. Now I have to manually unmount four partitions on my 2 TB
external disk every time I want to remove it.

Expected behaviour - Expected behaviour - when Unity detects that the
user is ejecting a partition that is on an external drive containing
more partitions, it should offer to safely remove the whole device.
Alternatively there should be two options upon right clicking a drive
icon - unmount only the partition and safely remove master device.
