One example - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/792085
The points here are - Only happens with usb 3 hdd's Only happens with usb 3 when attached to a usb 3 port The option's on these drives aren't consistent - Safely Remove only when attaching after login (- this option fails it's purpose Unmount only when booting up with drive attached or after a log out in with drive attached (- this option works And there is no way to power of the device when attached to a usb 3 port (other than going to suspend), windows & mac's can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401980 Title: Usb 3 hdd drives cannot be powered off in any manner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1401980/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
