Yes, right-click + "safely remove" spins down the disk (and removes it from the list), clicking the "Eject" icon does not.
After clicking the "Eject" icon, the volume stays in the list. Afterwards, I can still right-click to "safely remove", which then spins down the disk. IMHO the best behaviour would be to spin down the disk when the last partition gets unmounted, but to keep it in the list. If the user decides to mount a partition afterwards, the disk could surely spin up again. But it is good to know how to spin it down in the meantime, thanks! -- External USB disk does not spin down after unmounting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
