nihil-enochian commented 10 years ago

I have Toshiba 1TB external HDD and When i try to unmount and than detach it, drive spin down and than remount quickly again. And every time is doing like that. I use ubuntu 13.10 64bit version.

Hi, did you can send the output of command "dmesg" when it happens?

nihil-enochian commented 10 years ago

I hope this can help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6758253/

Open a terminal e type "tail -f /var/log/kern.log". This command will block on terminal. Insert/mount/umount/detach/remove your HDD device. Get the output from terminal and paste in a website. Please do this.

how much partititons have on your HDD? 2 or +?

I can't get the same error on my machine with ubuntu 13.10 64bits

nihil-enochian commented 10 years ago

I have only one NTFS partition. Here you are the output from terminal that you asked for.I hope this will help.An I also want to mention that this problem is and when I use safely remove from nautilus.HDD spins off and then automatically mounts. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6758934/

Sorry, but don't know how to fix it.

I just want to indicate that this problem is not affecting on any of usb flash drives that I try.Maybe this can help...?

I have the same problem with a flash drive. I tell bdin to detach the device but in 1-2 seconds it gets remounted automatically. This is not always reproducible though.

tail -f /var/log/kern.log shows how the device gets reconnected:

Feb 19 14:05:44 asylum kernel: [ 6300.784253] usb 2-3: USB disconnect, device number 17
Feb 19 14:05:45 asylum kernel: [ 6301.024017] usb 2-3: new high-speed USB device number 18 using ehci-pci

Feb 19 14:05:45 asylum kernel: [ 6301.394494] usb 2-3: SerialNumber: 0QL2XC92

Though it's not only bdin that shows this behavior.

udisks --detach /dev/sdb

leads to the same result: sometimes the device gets immediately reconnected and mounted.

Looks like this bug is quite old.

fenrrir commented 10 years ago

Hi all,

Bdin uses udisk dbus interface to manage devices. Any problem with udisk will affect it.
