Re: [gentoo-user] Error using safely remove for every USB DEVICE.

2011-10-31 Thread Felix Kuperjans
Hello Carlos, this error is just telling you that udisks did not succeed in powering down the USB device, but actually it was unmounted cleanly (so no data will be lost). The reason is most likely a missing kernel option: USB runtime power management (autosuspend) and wakeup in Device Drivers -
