Description bugsrus 2012-08-27 20:07:49 UTC
Description of problem:

When a removable USB hard drive is plugged in the device notifier widget displays the drive and, once it is mounted, puts a 'click to safely remove' icon next to it (as it does with USB memory sticks). Clicking this causes a popup saying it is safe to remove the device but the hard drive is left spinning so it is not safe to remove.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): device notifier 1.0


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in a removable USB drive
2.Open it in file manager using the Device Notifier Widget
3.Remove the drive using the Device Notifier Widget
  
Actual results: message says drive is safe to remove but drive is not spun down

Expected results: would expect the drive to spin down ready for removal and to be able to do this without resorting to the command line


Additional info: udisks --detach does spin the drive down (this was installed already on my machine). Gnome-disk-utility does not work, there is no option to safely remove (am using KDE but this does work on Kubuntu)

Please provide the output of the following:

$ rpm -q udisks

$ udisks --dump

Comment 2 Lukáš Tinkl 2012-08-27 20:53:43 UTC
Oh ye, and rpm -q kdelibs & kde-workspace would help too :]

Comment 3 bugsrus 2012-08-28 20:21:05 UTC
rpm -q udisks
udisks-1.0.4-6.fc17.x86_64

rpm -q kdelibs
kdelibs-4.8.5-1.fc17.x86_64

rpm -q kde-workspace
kde-workspace-4.8.5-2.fc17.x86_64


(sdb is the removable USB disk)
udisks --dump

detach external HDD patch

Comment 5 Lukáš Tinkl 2012-08-29 08:27:56 UTC
Could you test the above patch if it fixes your problem, or do you need a test build?

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2012-08-29 15:59:59 UTC
I submitted a patched kdelibs build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=351200

bugsrus, could you download/install that test build?

Comment 7 bugsrus 2012-08-29 19:08:37 UTC
Thanks Lukas for the patch and for the patched build Rex - I installed both kdelibs and kdelibs-common.
Tested before and after a reboot - still not spinning down the drive. Well actually it may be, momentarily, but it is spinning back up again immediately.
For the purpose of a test I did this
Ran udisks --monitor-detail
inserted the disk, clicked open in file manager from the device notifier. Closed file manager, and clicked the remove icon in device notifier. When the drive failed to spin down I then detached the drive with udisks

The output from udisks went to a text file which I will attach and hope is of some use

Output from udisks --monitor-detail

Comment 9 Lukáš Tinkl 2012-08-30 13:10:59 UTC
Do you have the automount option on in the device notifier? Because this is exactly what happens: after the eject is called, sdb1 disappears and immediately appears back... only after this the "detach" command is called and both sdb (the drive) and sdb1 (the partition) are removed completely.

Comment 10 bugsrus 2012-08-30 18:23:31 UTC
No, under Device Notifier Settings>Removable Devices 'enable automatic mounting of removable media' is not selected. The hard drive is not mounting automatically but, in device notifier, you have to select an action, such as open with file manager, before it mounts.
currently the only way to shut the drive down is to manually detach it using udisks.
Thanks for looking into this, much appreciated :-)

Comment 11 bugsrus 2013-01-30 19:22:32 UTC
I have just upgraded to Fedora 18 and the only way to spin the removable hard drive down is the udisks --detach command.
The drive (none of my removable drives for that matter) does not auto mount and still does not spin down when the device notifier is used to remove the drive

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 06:14:44 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 13 Andre Robatino 2013-07-22 15:50:15 UTC
I saw this with F18. I clean installed F19 when it came out. Now I generally have to unmount several times because it tends to automatically remount. But when it finally does unmount for good, it automatically powers off. I have gnome-disk-utility-3.8.2-1.fc19.x86_64.

Comment 14 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 17:45:40 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 15 Jacob Welsh 2014-09-24 15:15:25 UTC
Still a problem in Fedora 20. udisks --detach doesn't help either: based on the sound of it, the disk spins down, then spins right back up again and the device notifier shows it in a popup. Can this be re-opened or do we need to report a new bug?

Comment 16 Lukáš Tinkl 2014-09-24 15:20:49 UTC
If udisks --detach doesn't work then a bug has to be filled against udisks

Comment 17 Jacob Welsh 2014-09-24 15:54:50 UTC
(In reply to Lukáš Tinkl from comment #16)
> If udisks --detach doesn't work then a bug has to be filled against udisks

Doesn't seem like a udisks problem: it does spin down, but then something, presumably KDE, probes it again. Like bugsrus I do not have automatic mounting enabled.
