| gordonjcp | hi | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | I'm having a problem when I eject USB drives, where I can no longer access the drive as a block device | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | dmesg shows the following: | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | sdb: detected capacity change from 4004511744 to 0 | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | what exactly is going on when I eject in Ubuntu, and how can I prevent it doing this without having to reboot into Arch every time I want to write to a USB drive? | 22:02 |
| RAOF | Why are you ejecting it? | 22:03 |
| gordonjcp | because I don't want the filesystem mounted | 22:03 |
| JanC | you can unmount it... ☺ | 22:04 |
| gordonjcp | yes, but then it stops working, as I just said | 22:04 |
| JanC | unmount != eject | 22:04 |
| gordonjcp | same thing | 22:05 |
| JanC | eject makes it invisible until you remove it & plug it back in | 22:05 |
| gordonjcp | so does umount | 22:05 |
| JanC | unmount does not do that | 22:05 |
| JanC | eject is on a lower level | 22:05 |
| gordonjcp | I've just tried it; umount does the same thing as eject, or right-click and "Safely Remove..." from the desktop | 22:06 |
| JanC | I mount/unmount USB disks all the time... | 22:06 |
| JanC | or partitions on them | 22:06 |
| gordonjcp | in 11.10? | 22:06 |
| JanC | yes | 22:07 |
| gordonjcp | hm, well it's not working here | 22:07 |
| JanC | eject removes the block device, so naturally you can't (easily) remount it then, but umount shouldn't do that (AFAIK) | 22:08 |
| gordonjcp | it's definitely removing the block device... | 22:09 |
| gordonjcp | you're starting to make me wonder if someone has aliased umount to eject, just to annyo me | 22:09 |
| gordonjcp | *annoy | 22:09 |
