I welcome any intervention, any tip could help me solve this.
1) I tried that weird HDD both on my netinstall with i3wm, and also on a full
install with gnome-shell added. on gnome-shell (aka the full install),
everything works with Nautilus, except this specific HDD starts again by
itselff when I right-clic and select "safely remove".
On my netinstall, I had to configure polkit to allow automounting, and it
worked. I can unmount as well (using Thunar, in my case). So it seems it's
more like the netinstall "not changed enough" from the start (Which isn't
necessarily a bad thing I suppose).
2) I run over Libreboot, and I frankly have no idea about this kind of
setting. It's probably the stock settings though. I'll check it out.
3) It is USB 3.0 (so that's what this weird USB cable is, huh) because it's
blue.
4) Yeah, no partitions or anything, the only thing is it's in FAT32 if I'm
not mistaken.
In a nutshell, I need to implement the HDD spindown/power off from Thunar.
Also, DVD copy has yet to work proprerly.
Last, and definitely least, if I can fix that restart after having safely
removed the HDD from the gnome-shell full install, that would be a nice
thing. If I remember correctly, it does detach correctly from the CLI. I'll
try again.
Thanks for the backing up thing. I didn't know that clicking was this bad.
But it does SOUND bad, it definitely doesn't feel like the thing to do
(remove before spindown and power off).
