Bonjour,

When I plug in an external hdd in my f14 box, I have an icon on my desk.
If I right click on this icon, I can only see "safely remove" the disk,
I cannot unmount it as it was previously (f12, f10) possible.

The problem is that using the "safely remove" way often crashes the
session and nothing appears in the log, while using "unmounting" each
partition on the hdd does not crashes the session, as I could test it,
unmounting these hdd partitions by hand (umount /dev/sdb1, etc...)

I found many threads on the internet about the bad behavior of "safely
remove" but I did not find any solution to it....

Is there another soltion than to look in mtab, umount by hand the
partitions and then unplug the hdd?

Thanks for any help.
