Bug ID: 405979 Summary: Allow to unmount removable devices in addition to safely remove Product: dolphin Version: 18.12.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: panels: places Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: ash...@linuxcomp.ru Target Milestone: --- It is impossible to unmount removable device's partition without removing device. I was experimenting with preparing bootable usb stick, so I constantly needed mount/unmount partitions on usb stick to check bootability with qemu. It is convenient to mount a partition by just clicking to it, but the problem is that when you want to unmount it, you only have Safely Remove action. I do not know how this works internally (probably uses something like eject function of a usb device), but when you use it, device disappears from Dolphin, and next time you want to mount it, you should physically replug usb stick to your pc. Is there a way how I can again "activate" usb stick to be shown in Dolphin without replugging physically? I have noticed that for partitions of internal devices another function is used, which is called Unmount. Can you please implement it also for removable devices? Workaround 1: unmount via terminal. But it becomes uncomfortable. Workaround 2: add a second partition to usb stick and never mount it. When you click Safely Remove on a first partition, then both partitions disappears, but then appears again after a second.
