--- Comment #11 from Stefan Brüns <stefan.bru...@rwth-aachen.de> --- (In reply to Mihai Sorin Dobrescu from comment #9) > Right, still, had no corruption before - was there an other method? > Still, I need to mount/unmount separately than powering off. > As any other disk or data storage. > And I have one tat I can never eject without powering off the system. Why? The unmounting *always* flushes the buffers from the operating system. The drive will also eventually flush its internal buffers. A drive which supports eject should flush its internal buffers in the drive before actually ejecting the medium (safe any firmware bugs). If the driver does not support ejecting, it is explicitly told to flush the buffers and to stop *by UDisks*. This makes sure the heads are in the park position. Without power down, the disk is still spinning, and the heads may be flying above the platters. You can use the UDISKS_CAN_POWER_OFF udev property to disable power down. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
