Eject with WD My Passport Ultra external hard disk #87

Closed BillDietrich closed 6 years ago

BillDietrich commented 6 years ago

I have a WD My Passport Ultra external hard drive. When I plug it in to the PC, immediately a read-only "WD Unlocker" device/drive is mounted (this is normal, it is used under Windows or Mac to provide an app to decrypt and mount the real drive). But then if I umount that drive and try to eject it, eject gives an error. I get the same error (via a dialog) if I use nemo to eject the drive.

I'm using latest Mint 19 Cinnamon.

[Plug in the drive]

$ df

This is upstream from us and off-topic here (not related to mintsystem).

I'm a n00b. Please tell me the right place to file it. Somewhere in Ubuntu or Debian ?
