Problem: Safely ejecting a 3.5” HD
#3
Hi,

Very odd. Linux automatically "ejects" USB drives when they are removed but there may be something unique about the particular drive you are using thats causing an issue with auto-eject.

What model drive is it?

To manually "eject" a drive, enter the two commands below. The sync command flushes cached disk writes to the drive. The umount command un-mounts the drive.

Code:
sync
sudo umount /media/disk_label

You can use the command below to find the disk_label of the drive

Code:
ls /media
