A sudo umount does remove the drive correctly even when the device isn't attached and in fact it's seems this is the only way that the device can be re-recognised.
New users aren't going to umount a device before unplugging it. Can there be no mechanism for auto detection of this? BTW its the same for SD cards on my laptops SD reader. -- accidental usb disconnect doesnt unmount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239294 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
