Comment 1 Stewart Adam 2007-10-12 02:46:44 UTC

This problem is still present with hal-0.5.10-0.git20070925.fc8 and
hal-info-20070925-1.fc8.

What's the current status of this? The fix looks easy according to the Ubuntu
bug. This problem seems minor but it's really annoying since Rhythmbox always
tries to scan the drive and prevents it from being unmounted.

doesn't happen again.

Comment 3 Stewart Adam 2008-04-04 20:57:46 UTC

I don't have this USB drive anymore so I'm unable to test it, however Ubuntu has
a fix:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/90286/comments/23
Not sure if this made it into our hal-info package.

Comment 4 Stewart Adam 2008-07-03 18:56:24 UTC

I'm closing this since as I mentioned I can't test this bug exists anymore.
