[Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed drive

 

FYI --- using command line to eject the disk/partiton do work, see
http://askubuntu.com/questions/422481/prevent-usb-drives-from-auto-
remounting-after-remove

On the other hand, I see surprising that this bug is marked Medium. For
non-tech-savy users, can ends in unclean disconnect and even data-loss.
Should be marked as Critical.

  Automatic remount of safely removed drive

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  When I choose "Safely remove drive" context menu entry for an external
  USB drive within a nautilus window or directly clicking on the desktop
  icon, after about 10 seconds the drive is automatically remounted and
  a Nautilus window showing the root folder opens.

  I have noticed that similar already happened with a very old Ubuntu
  version - Bug #110589 and as that is so long time ago I thought it is
  better to open a new bug. Reason of the problem might even be
  completely different.
