try the following: # sudo umount /media/[mount point]
for example # sudo umount /media/disk1 that should unmount, which removes the drive icon from the desktop. it's then "safe" to disconnect the drive. however, the mount point folder in /media (e.g., "/media/disk") will still be there and unusable. so it is save to remove that directory by using # sudo rmdir /media/disk[x] where [x] is the folder if there are multiple media devices connected. if there was only one device connected, it should be just /media/disk the next time you plug the media in, it should auto mount normally. -- Mounts external USB hard drive in a different point after resuming sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
