Why is this marked as Incomplete? Are you asking me to justify why this regression is broken?
Why do I want to unmount a volume?! I don't want it mounted in the first place! OK, it is probably acceptable to mount the single volume when a drive is attached, whereas nhen a drive with multiple volumes is attached, NONE should be auto-mounted, rather than all. But at least one can go into apps/nautilus/preferences and turn off media_automount and media_automount_open. However, I don't want the entire drive removed just because I have unmounted a volume! Why might I unmount it? Oh, let's see: a) I want to run fsck b) I want to run dd c) I want to run other utilities that want to operate on UNMOUNTED volumes d) I might be backing up volumes, and need precise control over when and where they are mounted e) I might just be paranoid, and prefer to keep unused volumes unmounted f) etc. As noted in the upstream report, "in order to use the device again, you will have to replug it", which basically repeats the cycle. Here's another little tidbit for you: if you turn off automount, and then MANUALLY mount the volume(s) you want, when you click the "eject" icon, the old behavior is back: it only unmounts, rather than removes. As noted upstream, a solution would be to display both the drive AND the volumes, such that DRIVES are removed and VOLUMES are unmounted. That GUI change would be satisfactory. -- Incorrect mount/umount/REMOVE behavior of USB drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412449 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
