Umount USB

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

In fedora 22, when a USB key is connected, a icon comes
It was the same in fedora 20, but now there is not way to 
unmount it, while before it was always possible.
How can I unmount a USB key safely?

Thank.

terminal window, type:
# df -h

you should see the device mounted... I just plugged in a USB stick , it
shows up as /dev/sdg1:

# df -h
/dev/sdg1        59G   36G   24G  60% /run/media/pbc/PATRIOT

then type :
# umount /dev/sdg1

or
$ sudo umount /dev/sdg1

If you use Gnome, there's an extension for that:

[Patrick Dupre]

Sure,

But, it just seems to be one step back.

This extension does not let you unmount the device, it just let you
see the removable devices!

that's the way I always do it.. If I can do it on the command line, I
try to do it that way.

On my system, there's a little arrow to the right that lets me unmount
the device.
If you don't have that, perhaps there's something else going on.

F22, XFCE spin: there's an "unmount" option, which works for me.

[Patrick Dupre]

This is bizarre, I have almost the same, except the 2 arrows in the right side
encircled in red.

F22 gnome, this option is just missing, it was here in F20.

It's in Fedora 22 Gnome also. I'd say you either have something broken
in the installation/upgrade, or the removable isn't actually mounted,
or you've found a bug related to the specific partitioning/volume
format of the removable.

I think you're talking about different things.  Chris's screenshot shows
that Nautilus still has the ability to unmount removable devices.

Patrick is referring to the icon that used to appear in the notification
area when a removable device was mounted and which let you unmount it.
In GNOME Shell 3.16 notifications have moved to the top of the screen
and no longer include persistent icons for mounted devices.

The old scheme provided a pointy-clicky way to unmount a device without
having to start Nautilus.
