The reason that
$ udisks --detach /dev/sdX
spins down the disk properly but clicking the "Power off" menu item in
the GNOME Disks application doesn't has to do with the fact that the
udisks program is from udisks version 1 and was rewritten in udisks
version 2.
udisks v1: http://cgit.freedeskto
OK, I just made that change
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/commit/?id=fcdd8f48b6ac9b1b6da82fdf5f59230fc2ea6feb
and tested it with a couple of different units. Notes
- One of my devices (bus-powered) does not accept the START STOP UNIT
command so we just continue if it fails. That is, thi

Btw, this is because the sg_start command opens the device node with
O_RDWR which causes an uevent 'change' event
Thanks for testing. I'll look into making udisks2 sending SYNCHRONIZE
CACHE and START/STOP UNIT commands. Stay tuned.

Fair enough. I'll try to see if I can repro on my hardware.

Hey, thanks for testing the patches.

Let me see if I understand this correctly:
1. Manually unmount, then power-off via the Disks GUI works as expected.
2. The "safely remove drive" button in Nautilus does not work as expected.
Is that about right?

You got it somewhat wrong
- udisks does not provide any UI => it's not the right place to report this bug
- there was some confusion in the UI between "Eject" and "Safely Remove Drive"
-> the feature was deemed confusing and removed from the UI
- the feature will be back in the upcoming udisks
I'll take a look.

Hi, finally got around to making udisks also send the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE

Hi, sorry for the lack of updates. Nothing special, just been busy with
work, I'm still planning on adding the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command.
Hopefully I'll get to look at it soon. Thanks.

In udisks 2.0 this is now handled by libblkid through invocation from
udev so I'm closing this NOTOURBUG.
That said, if you don't mind, please test if it's the problem also
exists with that codebase (it's completely different from udisks-part-
