I've just downloaded karmic alpha 5 and will try to do what you suggested. I can already testify that, as before, just "unmounting" the usb hard disk via kde interface will not put it to sleep, and I can still hear the "click" when I unplug it.
I believe this is the same issue as mentioned here: http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in- linux.html -- usb hard drive does not enter standby mode before shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300805 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
