[Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed usb 3.0 drive

[msj]

For USB 3.0 Disks, Across Ubuntu Distros..... This surely needs to have
more priority.

Unless this is fixed, We noobs might simply give up on Ubuntu/Linux
altogether.

My Machine: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, NVidia Chipset, Asus X552C

Device: Seagate BackupPlus 1 TB USB POwered Ext Hard disk Issue: Ext HDD
keeps spinning(I place the palm below Ext HDD & feel the spinning is
still On), Light keeps glowing, Nautilus Left Side Panel shows the disk
is till mounted.

mount will list all mounted disks.. I used & found Seagate HDD is
mounted as /dev/sdb1 I installed udisks using apt-get & ran these 2
commands in terminal. udisks --unmount /dev/sdb1 udisks --detach
/dev/sdb

Caution***not udisks --detach /dev/sdb1, It is /dev/sdb

Now, the Nautilus Left Side Panel doesn't show the mounted icon for the
Ext HDD, but the spinning is still on.

I tried sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1

I get the error, umount2: Invalid argument umount: /dev/sdb1: not
mounted

My Problem is I've already lost 2 different 1 TB HDD's while working on
Ubuntu. Data Retrieval costs are upwards of $3.5 per GB in Bangalore
(200 INR per GB at SP Road....)

Does anyone have a solution..... Note: I've had the Ext HDD attached to
the laptop from past 7 days & spinning is still On.

I'm at end of my wits & can't afford to loose the data in this HDD.

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.
