Bug#695332: Eject and Unmount USB flash drives
Package: thunar Version: 1.2.3-4+b1 Severity: wishlist Upon migrating to Wheezy, I noticed that thunar handles flash drives differently with respect to drives that have multiple partitions. I routinely use flash drives with multiple encrypted partitions; however, sometimes I may include a non-encrypted fat32 partition to share/swap data between different operating systems and different computers. In wheezy, thunar no longer has the option to just unmount a partition. If eject is used, then the whole drive gets ejected and disappears. Thus the only way to use the flash drive again is to reinsert it. In Squeeze, a user was able to umount / mount partitions and eject the drive when finished. Here is a link from xfce.org about the issue that Yves-Alexis Perez may remember: http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/thunar-dev/2011-February/004836.html Question: Is it possible to bring back the unmount plus eject functionallity? Here is my particular use case that I am providing in support of adding the feature back (in reference to the xfce 'ejecting' USB flash drives discussion): I volunteer with a non-profit organization and use a single 16GB flash drive, divided into multiple encrypted partitions, to separate various types of data. For example, one partition contains business email (active and archived years), another contains documents, and another contains working / draft files for various projects. I divide a single drive because it doesn't make much sense to use a multi-GB drive if the files will only ever take up a small percentage of the space available. When I need to access a partitions I will mount it and use until I am finish. Sometimes, I find that I do need to go back into a partition that I already have unmounted to add some other files or continue on a project. I marked the severity as whislist due to the nature of the 'bug'; however, if a different level is more appropriate then please feel free to change. Thanks. --Michael P. Carr Jr.
Bug#695332: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#695332: Eject and Unmount USB flash drives
Thanks for the quick responses. And I am glad that the feature is returning to thunar. In another bug (694488, thunar opens slow with two instances), you had mention about that particular fix not being backportable; since that fix is implemented in a bunch of commits (per Nick Schermer comment via xfce bug 7373). Question: I was wondering if this feature would be backportable for the wheezy version? The answer is mostly a no, but it doesn't hurt to ask. ;-) Thanks again for all the hard work. --Michael P.

Yes, this feature is (will be) back in Thunar 1.6, although that's not targeted for Wheezy, indeed. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
