imho this is definitely a (not little) bug. The regular user is able to plug in an external hdd - so he should also be able to unplug it without loss of data. Why shouldn't he?
As written in the post Chalumeau linked, it is possible to "eject" the hdd from console without root permissions. I think nautilus should do this too. -- external USB HDD canno't unmout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
