*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 63090 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63090 Same issue here with Feisty using LaCie F.A. Porsche USB HD.

[Bug 99498] Re: Nautilus and hal can't umount usb hd disk
I have the same problem with a usb harddisk which contains two partitions. The only solution is to unmount both partitions in console or just plug off USB which isn't a good idea. Could this please be fixed until Feisty release? I think it is not a rare case that usb devices have two or more partitions.

I think too that this bug should/must been solved for feisty (i think that it's critical). I (400Go, 2x250Go, and 300Go in a Dvico M5000A box player) and other friends of mine use external DD with many partitions (often vfat and ntfs now we have ntfs writing with feisty).

This is also affecting a number of other users: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=398262 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=398704 Can the requires_eject policy for all usb storage devices please be changed to false, as in general unmounting is a more desirable feature - especially since unlike a cdrom, the device itself is not physically ejected by the computer, and still remains electrically connected. If some usb devices specifically require ejection custom rules should perhaps be created for them, but to make ALL usb storage devices use eject is wrong IMO. The original problem occurred when 10-storage-policy.fdi was incorporated in the lastest hal release, which was done to fix bug #97366, but I think a better fix would simply to be to add a specific rule in hal for ipod's as requires_eject (a similar thing was suggested for the nokia n770 in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/24399 - also includes an example fdi file for how to match the device - but it was rejected, even though it looks like the right way to try and fix these bugs), and then to change the desktop notification to say eject or unmount rather than simply eject, so that we do not confuse users. -- Nautilus and hal can't umount usb hd disk https://launchpad.net/bugs/99498 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 99498] Re: Nautilus and hal can't umount usb hd disk
The device may not be physically ejected, but it's told to do so. This may change the state of the device's display from don't disconnect me to OK to disconnect, flush internal buffers et al. Look at any iPod for confirmation. Conclusion: We do need a real eject. We might want to rename it to eject or disconnect so as to not confuse users, and we may need to fix an immediate-remount bug if a device misbehaves. But reverting this is IMHO not an option. Data point: All the USB sticks, iPods, cameras and memory stick readers I possess (about 20 of them, all together, I might add) behave correctly. -- Nautilus and hal can't umount usb hd disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for hal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This is a regression due to the addition of 10-storage-policy.fdi, and more specifically the requires_eject policy for usb devices.
